Abstract
Deep-seated rockslides in the surroundings of a large reservoir were studied to improve the geological and kinematical models. The models form the basis to quantify the impact of reservoir operation on the behaviour of the rockslides and to increase the process understanding of slow to extremely slow moving rockslides in foliated metamorphic rock masses.
