Rock mass defect controlled deep-seated landslides in Tertiary soft rock terrain : implications for landscape evolution

Rock mass defect controlled deep-seated landslides are widespread within the deeply incised landscapes formed in Tertiary soft rock terrain in New Zealand. The basal failure surfaces of deep-seated slope failures are defined by thin, comparatively weak and laterally continuous bedding parallel layer...
