1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2G7

J. D. Dana's 1862 classification distinguished three kinds of landslides, now recognizable as debris flows, earth spreads and rock slides, without naming the landslides. As the first use of the term ‘landslide’ was recorded in 1838, Dana's may be the earliest classification of landslides.

Key Words: Landslide • Landslip • Founder • Subsidence
