The Rogowiec Landslide Complex (Central Sudetes, SW Poland) : a case of a collapsed mountain

Kasprzak M., Duszyński F., Jancewicz K., Michniewicz A., Różycka M., Migoń P.

Geological Quarterly

Vol. 60, No. 3

The paper focuses on a large relict landslide complex in the northeastern part of the Kamienne Mts. (Sudetes, SW Poland) developed on Carboniferous and Permian volcanic and clastic sedimentary rocks. Whilst the presence of mass movements around Mt. Rogowiec has long been known, no attempts have yet been made to offer a comprehensive analysis. This study is based on recognition of geomorphic features from LiDAR-derived DTM, geomorphometric analysis, field geomorphological mapping, joint measurements at representative exposures, and electrical resistivity tomography. The total area affected by gravitational slope deformation exceeds 40 ha and consists of a few smaller units that show distinctive patterns of displacement. The eastern slopes of the Mt. Rogowiec ridge have been reshaped by large slides involving rigid blocks of trachyandesite in the upper part and deformed sedimentary successions in the middle and lower part. The central part of the area has experienced lateral spreading which resulted in complete disintegration of the volcanic cap. Fresh-looking ridge-top trenches indicate that this process is ongoing. Subsequent movements included flows into pre-existing valleys and rock wall collapses to produce spectacular block streams. The scale and variety of deformation structures at Mt. Rogowiec make this locality unique in the Sudetes.

Rates of gully erosion along Pikes Peak Highway, Colorado, USA

Katz H. A., Daniels J. M., Ryan S. E.

Landform Analysis

Vol. 17

Pikes Peak Highway is a partially paved road between Cascade, CO and the summit of Pikes Peak (4300 meters). Significant gully erosion is occurring on the hillslopes due to the concentration of surface runoff along the road surface and adjacent drainage ditches. As a result, large quantities of sediment are transported to the surrounding valley stream networks causing significant damage to riparian, wetland, and aquatic environments. This study addresses the rates of gully erosion along the Pikes Peak Highway.
