Erosion

| Erosion processes (gravity slope processes, landslides and river erosion) are controlled by many different factors such as precipitation, snow melt, groundwater circulation, alteration, rock fracturing, sediment mechanical characteristics, earthquakes, freezing effects, weathering, uplift, and anthropic factors on environment. | Description slope processes | Glaciers surface at Würm period | |||

Quanterra |
The principle of Quanterra is to make fundamental research useful for landscape control, planning and management and to freely spread knowledge by publication, report computer programs etc. that state organizations and private companies have no time and money to develop alone. | ||||

Illustration des conditions nécessaires pour qu'une direction de glissement puisse être effective (en vert) en regard de l'orientation de la topographie (en rouge). Il est à noter que pour des glissements plan la condition peut être assortie d'un critère géomécanique (Hoek and Bray, 1981)
Densité relative du nombre d'éboulements par unité de surface, il s'agit d'une expression de la méthode basée sur les cadastres (d'après des données de Eisbacher et Clague, 1984) |

Rock instabilities
The grey scale represents the calculated mean number of discontinuities J3 (030º/50º) that could be found on the topographic surface and could induce rock sliding. The mean trace length is 220m and the mean spacing 100m. This area is the central southern part of the Fig. 4 (topographic data are used with the authorisation of the federal topographic office). |
