Abstract
The annual field training course sponsored by ICL and IPL has been organized since 2006 in the Kokomeren River Valley in Kyrgysztan, Tien Shan. Students and young landslide researchers are visiting bedrock landslides of various types and learning different methods of their study. High emphasis is placed also on geological and neotectonic factors favorable for large-scale landslide formation. ICL Summer School on Rockslides and Related Phenomena promotes the capacity building in landslide hazard and risk assessment.
