Abstract: Study of satellite and aerial images, combined with the results of a ground survey, has led to identification of a huge landslide that occurred several thousand years ago in Mongolia. The amount of material that slipped is huge — 50 km3or around 100 billion tons. The site lies close to a currently active fault system, and the landslide may well have been triggered by an earthquake.
