landslide dams; geomorphometry; radiocarbon dating; dam typology; flysch Carpathians; Czech Republic

In the mid-mountain region of the Flysch Carpathians landslide dams represent relatively numerous forms of the relief, significantly affecting geomorphologic regime of valleys even after a few-thousand-year-old existence. Up to the present day about 20 cases of (largely fossil) landslide damming have been analyzed in detail. Most of them originated as a consequence of fast flow-like landslides or due to the reactivization of frontal parts of larger (often rotational) landslide areas...
