Case Studies of landslides

• Arizona Inn landslide. Some good photographs, maps, and description of this famous Oregon slide
• Landslide Susceptibility in the Tully Valley Area, Finger Lakes Region, New York. This is a complete report (figures and maps) of a quick-clay landslide in New York. Well worth looking at - Figure 2 is a nice view of the slide. It shows you what you can do with the web.
