This Virtual Issue highlights ten recent innovative, unconventional, or otherwise significant contributions to ESPL that help advance the state-of-the-art in research on linkages between landslides, hillslope erosion, and landscape evolution. The selected studies address this feedback within a temporal spectrum that ranges from the event to the millennial scale, thus underscoring the importance of detailed field observations, high-resolution digital topographic data, and geochronological methods for increasing our capability of quantifying landslide processes and hillslope erosion.
