Abstract
Herein I describe the status of rockslide studies in the Alps and present a brief history of the studies. Special attention is paid to the outstanding part in landslide studies in the past 25 years taken by G. Abele, and I introduce his main work to those English-speaking readers who may not be familiar with this scientist. After extensive morphological studies on many rockslide deposits in the Alps, Abele studied huge debris flows that were possibly triggered by rockslides. In addition, new aspects in rockslide studies and the latest rockslides in the Alps are described.
