In view of the recent fatal landslide in Nepal, today, the ELI Team is publishing "Landslide danger – and climate change; case studies of how landslides work and the likely effects of climate change."

This ELI gives a comprehensive introduction into landsliding processes and the likely impacts of climate change. It uses two case studies.
