abstract:
The variety of landslides occurring in the Dolomites is outlined with specific reference to their type and temporal distribution. Actually, landslides are widespread in the Dolomites and mainly consist of mass movements occurring from the Lateglacial to date, some of which gave rise to spectacular landforms. All the different types of landslides described by Cruden and Varnes (1996) can be found in the region and a synoptic table of some remarkable examples is reported.
