Thermal influences on spontaneous rock dome exfoliation
Nature Communications, 2018 Thermal triggering of rock exfoliation has long been discounted as relevant to the evolution of rock domes. Here, the authors documented and measured recent fracturing events in California, USA to show that hot summer periods can lead to thermal stresses

How water, temperature, and seismicity control the preconditioning of massive rock slope failure (Hochvogel) [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsThe anticipation of massive rock slope failures is a key mitigation strategy in a changing climate and environment requiring a precise understanding of pre-failure process dynamics.

Landslides/Landslide Mitigation [PDF]
, 1992 Abstract Provides a variety of case histories, methodology to help identify, quantify, and mitigate landlsides, and legal cases affecting engineering geology. Part I provides basic information to aid in assessing geologic hazards related to compound landslides, surficial slope failures, and causes of distress to residential construction.

Evaluating post-wildfire debris-flow rainfall thresholds and volume models at the 2020 Grizzly Creek Fire in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, USA [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesAs wildfire increases in the western United States, so do postfire debris-flow hazards. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed two separate models to estimate (1) rainfall intensity thresholds for postfire debris-flow initiation and (2) debris ...

Direct impacts of landslides on socio-economic systems: a case study from Aranayake, Sri Lanka
Geoenvironmental Disasters, 2018 Background Landslides area controversial issue worldwide and cause a wide range of impacts on the socio-economic systems of the affected community. However, empirical studies of affected environments remain inadequate for prediction and decision making ...

Dynamic path-dependent landslide susceptibility modelling [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 This contribution tests the added value of including landslide path dependency in statistically based landslide susceptibility modelling. A conventional pixel-based landslide susceptibility model was compared with a model that includes landslide path ...
