Summary
The Landslide Report is a Suggested Method developed by the International Geotechnical Societies' UNESCO Working Party on World Landslide Inventory for reporting the position, date, type, geometry, volume and damage of significant landslides.
Résumé
Le “Compte-Rendu sur un glissement de terrain” est une méthode suggérée et développée par le “Comité de Travail pour l'Inventaire Mondial des glissements de terrain”. Il inclut l'emplacement, la date, le type, la géométrie, le volume des glissements de terrain importants, ainsi que les dégâts provoqués.
