TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - An approach to mass movements in the Jiuzhaigou catchment JO - Natural hazards A1 - Daquan, Zhang A1 - Maoqi, Xu SP - 141 EP - 151 VL - 8 IS - 2 N2 - This paper presents a preliminary study of the main types, features, genesis, and countermeasures of mass movements in the Jiuzhaigou catchment, which is one of the most scenic regions in China. The main features are debris flows, rock-segment flows, landslides, and avalanches. Rough relief, fractured rocks, drifts, steep slopes, intensive rainstorms, and earthquakes produced their geneses. Countermeasures should include the integration of engineering and biological projects.
