Field Trip 12
Large-scale catastrophic rock slope failures in the Ötz-Inn-Loisach Valley region
Marc Ostermann, Christoph Prager
Several major rock slope failures and their resulting deposits occur spatially clustered in the Oetz-Inn-Loisach-Valley region. The field trip visits some of the most outstanding examples of these large-scale catastrophic landslides and shows their impact on the valleys they descended in. Focus is attributed to the ages, potential causes, kinematics, accumulation patterns and geomorphological impacts of these major deep-seated rock slope failures.
