Bogucki DJ. 1970. Debris Slides and Related Flood Damage Associated with the September 1, 1951, Cloudbursts in the Mount LeConte - Sugarland Mountain area, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. University of Tennessee
The cloudburst triggered over 100 slides in the area covered by this study. The paper discusses the geology, drainage, climate, soils, vegetation, slopes, and hydrology. The conclusion is that more research is needed in hopes of attaining predictability of future slides, even though stopping them is not possible.
