ABSTRACTThis paper on selected case studies makes comparisons with climate parameters, slope erosion caused by rapid snow melt and slushflows (slush avalanches, slushers), and slope erosion due to debris flows or slides, triggered by heavy rainfalls. The slushers and debris flows are viewed in a 100-year time perspective and compared with observations at other sites and with records from railway and highway. Other papers in this volume are progress reports based on more detailed international projects in Kärkevagge.
