Longitudinal ridges in mass movement deposits

TL;DR: A tongue of hummocky terrain ∼1 km long and ∼400m wide extends downslope from the source area of a rock-slope failure that formed the summit arete of Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan in the NW Highlands.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the significance of intergranular friction weakening on the dynamics of the Jiweishan rock avalanche and compared the results from the numerical models with and without granular friction strengthening to investigate its influence on the dynamic of the rock avalanche.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a comprehensive investigation on the gigantic Iymek rock avalanche (IRA) in eastern Pamir, China, which exhibited characteristic undulating features, including trimlines, longitudinal ridges, hummocks, raised distal edge, and raised lateral levees.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe two recent cases from British Columbia, Canada, where rockslides entrained substrate on a very large scale, influencing the character of the events.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on laboratory experiments designed to illuminate grain-scale deformation mechanisms within granular fault gouge and compare results from shear between smooth boundaries, where they hypothesize that grain boundary sliding is the dominant deformation mechanism, and roughened surfaces, where rolling and granular dilation contribute to shear deformation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the state-of-the-art tools and techniques used in the development of the HOGA algorithm and its application in the field of artificial intelligence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an instability that occurs when a front of granular material propagates down a rough inclined plane, which is initially uniform in cross-section, rapidly breaks up into fingers.
