ABSTRACT
The nature of the problem of climate impacts on slopes is such that it affects many different stakeholders and end-users. The problem is also being approached from many different angles and with different objectives in mind. It thus forms a very broad multi-disciplinary field in which geographers, mathematicians, statisticians, physicists, engineers, ecologists, hydrologists, etc. try to work out their own particular problem angles and seek to forge links to provide a broader solution than would be achieved individually.This is not always easy as specialists speak different (scientific) languages and do not always share the same philosophical approach to problem solving.
