Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution (2005)
Journal Article
Lim, M., Petley, D., Rosser, N., Allison, R., Long, A., & Pybus, D. (2005). Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution. The Photogrammetric Record, 20(110), 109-129. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1477-9730.2005.00315.x

Although cliffs form approximately 75% of the world's coastline, the understanding of the processes through which they evolve remains limited because of a lack of quantitative data on the morphological changes they undergo. In this paper the combinat... Read More about Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution.

Development of progressive landslide failure in cohesive materials (2005)
Journal Article
Petley, D., Higuchi, T., Petley, D., Bulmer, M., & Carey, J. (2005). Development of progressive landslide failure in cohesive materials. Geology, 33(3), 201-204. https://doi.org/10.1130/g21147.1

The development of progressive failure in slopes is a poorly understood process, and relatively few advances in terms of the mechanics of the development of failure have been made since 1967. However, advances in the understanding of the development... Read More about Development of progressive landslide failure in cohesive materials.

The use of surface monitoring data for the interpretation of landslide movement patterns (2005)
Journal Article
Petley, D., Mantovani, F., Bulmer, M., & Zannoni, A. (2005). The use of surface monitoring data for the interpretation of landslide movement patterns. Geomorphology, 66(1-4), 133-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2004.09.011

The Tessina landslide is a large, seasonally active slope failure located on the southern slopes of Mt. Teverone, in the Alpago valley of NE Italy, consisting of a complex system that has developed in Tertiary Flysch deposits. The landslide, which fi...

The evolution of slope failures: mechanisms of rupture propagation (2004)
Journal Article
Petley, D. (2004). The evolution of slope failures: mechanisms of rupture propagation. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 4(1), 147-152

Forecasting the occurrence of large, catastrophic slope failures remains very problematic. It is clear that in order advance this field a greater understanding is needed of the processes through which failure occurs. In particular, there is a need to...

Patterns of movement in rotational and translational landslides (2002)
Journal Article
Petley, D., Bulmer, M., & Murphy, W. (2002). Patterns of movement in rotational and translational landslides. Geology, 30(8), 719-722. https://doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613%282002%29030%3C0719%3Apomira%3E2.0.co%3B2

The movement of rotational and translational landslides occurs as a result of either sliding on discrete shear surfaces or ductile deformation within a shear zone. In this paper we examine the movement histories of a number of landslides that occurre... Read More about Patterns of movement in rotational and translational landslides.
