• Landslide dam activity in Flysch Zone of the Eastern Carpathian, Romania: distribution, stability, and failure mechanism assessment (2026) · Landslides · doi

  Landslide dams can cause significant material losses and disrupt local and regional watercourse connectivity. The study area is prone to extreme rainfall events, which can trigger landslide dam formation. There is a need for effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of landslide dam formation.
