Peat landslides form a distinct suite of slope failures which are characteristic of landscapes where organic soils dominate. Six main types of peat mass movement are recognised: bog burst, bog flow, bog slide, peat slide, peaty-debris slide and peat... Read More about Peat landslides.

Peat is a low density, highly compressible soil that occurs at the surface or may be buried at depth. Peat is essentially an organic, non-mineral soil resulting from the decay of organic matter. In the UK peat deposits are widespread occurring in a w... Read More about Peat hazards: compression and failure.

Peat soil is a heterogeneous mixture of decomposed plant material that has accumulated in a water-saturated environment in the absence of oxygen. The structure of peat varies enormously from partially decomposed plant remains to a fine amorphous coll... Read More about A Snapshot in Time: The Dynamic and Ephemeral Structure of Peatland Soils.
