Destructive mass movements in high mountains : hazard and management / G.H. Eisbacher and J.J. Clague.: M44-84/16E-PDF
"Most destructive mass movements are complex and are related to mountain torrent systems and instabilities in steep bedrock slopes. They are controlled by unique combinations of geological, topographic, meteorological, and seismic factors and by human activity (e.g mining, logging, urban and recreational development). The major groups of mass movements considered in this report are debris flows from surficial deposits, debris flows from bedrock failures, mass movements on volcanoes, glacier-related mass movements, and rockfalls and rock avalanches"--Summary, p. 2.
