Cover Story: In this issue, Hall et al. provide the first evidence for erosion by glacial ripping in sedimentary rock. Early Cambrian quartz sandstones at Loch Eriboll, NW Scotland, show extensive dilation along joints and bedding planes at shallow depth. Dilation was in response to very high subglacial water pressures and led to widespread brecciation. Traction from the moving glacier detached sheets and blocks of rock and reworked breccias into immature rubble tills. Ripping operated close to the margin of the ice sheet as it melted rapidly between 17.6 and 16.5 ka. View this paper.

Near fault seismic records may contain impulsive motions in velocity-time history. The seismic records can be identified as impulsive and non-impulsive depending on the features that their waveforms have. These motions can be an indicator of directiv...

The Use of TERRA-ASTER Satellite for Landslide Detection

  • Filippo Vecchiotti,
  • Nils Tilch and
  • Arben Kociu

In August 2005, numerous shallow landslides occurred in the region of Vorarlberg (Austria), particularly induced by unfavourable event-related weather conditions. Two scenes of TERRA-ASTER sensor were used for the identification of the vegetation cha...
