Advancing debris flow hazard and risk assessments using debris flow modeling and radar derived rainfall intensity data [PDF]
Debris flow hazard and risk assessments are critical tools in mitigating and planning for these events. Existing debris flow hazard assessments can provide a rapid view of the likelihood of debris flows in recently burned watersheds and along stream ...

What does landslide triggering rainfall mean? [PDF]
Landslide-triggering rainfall thresholds are often subject to both false negatives (landslides where none are expected) and false positives (no landslides despite thresholds being exceeded).

Debris Flow Hazard Mapping Along Linear Infrastructure: An Agent Based Model and GIS Approach [PDF]
Often linear infrastructure, including rail, highways, and pipelines, span large geographic areas intersecting a variety of terrain, predisposing infrastructure to a higher likelihood of geohazard interaction.

Evaluation of flood potential under basins based on morphometric parameters and correlation test (Case: Zab catchment to Mirabad) [PDF]
IntroductionThe concept of morphometry involves the measurement and numerical analysis of land surface, shape, dimensions and form of land. In relation to flooding, watershed morphometry includes quantitative indicators describing watershed physical ...

The geomorphology of Ceres [PDF]
INTRODUCTION Observations of Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, have suggested that the dwarf planet is a geologically differentiated body with a silicate core and an ice-rich mantle. Data acquired by the Dawn spacecraft were used to perform a three-dimensional characterization of the surface to determine if the ...

Zoning and assessing the potential for landslide in the Shidri Chach basin using the ANP model [PDF]
During the last years, following an increase in damages due to occurrence of landslides, human has decided to reduce such losses. Therefore, identifying regions susceptible to landslide and classifying them can partly help man to prevent from happening ...
