Links to More U.S. Geological Survey Landslide Research and Information
The links provided here allow the user to access more landslide information within the U.S. Geological Survey. As the topic of landslides appears in many aspects of the research and information that USGS provides, there is additional information that is encompassed by other USGS programs and research projects. For example, submarine landslides, which are within the purview of the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of USGS, are featured in their project website.
The links on this page may be helpful when searching for specific types of landslides and how landslides relate to other geologic processes and hazards.
These links also include other USGS information, for example, how to access USGS publications, obtain images and photographs, and how to use the USGS Library System.
