Abstract

Ocean is the largest water reservoir in the Earth’s hydrological cycle. Global sea level rise concerns come from the fact that, water kept in the slow cycling reservoirs outside those traditionally defined as hydrosphere, such as cryosphere and the occluded fossil groundwater reservoirs, may release water to the hydrosphere. Following two examples illustrate that landslides can have sea level rise consequences through affecting the container volume (Sect. 8.1) as well as through groundwater pathways (Sect. 8.2).
