Based on field geological survey and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography, this paper studied the inherent causes, intrinsic mechanisms, and kinematic characteristics of a catastrophic landslide of dissolved and fractured rock slope in a mountainous area of Southwestern China. The discrete elem...
