Earthflow occurrence during high intensity rainfall in Eastern Otago (New Zealand)
Abstract The characteristics and effects of an unusually heavy rainstorm causing landsliding, are discussed. The storm produced up to 8 inches of rain in 48 h during a month, which, over the last 20 years, has had a mean of 2.03 inches. These weather conditions triggered numerous landslides in an area which is believed to have become progressively unstable over the last one hundred years. A theory for the progressive development of unstable land in the locality is outlined. It centres around the change of soil properties induced by a removal of the indigenous forest. The study lists the relevant morphological and geological characteristics of a typical earthflow and gives an account of the observed processes of earthflow occurrence.
