Hazard and risk assessment of the Skutshorn unstable rock slope above Vangsmjøse (Vang, Innlandet)

Abstract

Skutshorn is located at an SSE dipping slope north of Vangsmjøse (Vang municipality, Innland county). The unstable rock slope is split into a larger scenario (scenario A) to the east and a smaller scenario (scenario B) to the west, which are separated by a niche of failure related to an earlier rock slope failure. This prehistoric failure had a similar volume to scenario B and the deposit is preserved on the bottom of lake Vangsmjøse.
