Dendrogeomorphological analysis of mass movement a technical note on the research method

Abstract

Dating of mass movement events by examining the course of eccentricity of the annual rings of trees, inclined as a result of these movements, can be a problem in the case of multiple inclined trees showing compound trunk curvature and complex reaction wood. These problems, however, can be solved when sampling of ring width cores is based on accurate analysis of the form of the trunk.
