Coral distribution and diversity in Sakiyamawan–Amitoriwan nature conservation area of Iriomote Island in Japan

open access: yesGeoscience Letters, 2023
Sakiyama and Amitori bays of Iriomote Island in Japan are adjacent, but their coral distributions differ significantly. This study investigates the differences in the coral distribution and diversity between both bays from the diversity index and ...

Detailed and large-scale cost/benefit analyses of landslide prevention vs. post-event actions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The main aim of this paper is to test economic benefits of landslide prevention measures vs. post-event emergency actions. To this end, detailed- and large-scale analyses were performed in a training area located in the northeastern Italian pre-Alps that

Preliminary analysis on rainfall thresholds for early warning of the rainfall induced landslides based on “step” deformation characteristics

open access: yesZhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2023
Since the occurrence of landslide disasters is random and complex, which often causes serious economic losses to people's lives and even threatens life safety, establishing landslide early warning criteria and models is an important means to reduce ...

A simplified numerical model for evaluating sediment control by open-type sabo dams in the Joganji River basin [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The present study proposes a method to estimate sediment runoff by introducing a dam function of the relationship between inflow sediment and sediment runoff through a slit dam.

An approach for prospective forecasting of rock slope failure time

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Rock slope failures globally account for most single-event landslide disasters. Climatic changes in mountain areas boost failure activity and the demand for reliable failure time forecasts.

Study of debris flow peak discharge at Kamikamihorizawa Creek [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Prediction of the peak discharge of debris flow is one of the most important factors in mitigating debris flow disasters. Currently, empirical methods based on the relationship between the peak discharge and total debris flow volume (magnitude) for many ...

Towards the optimal Pixel size of dem for automatic mapping of landslide areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Determining appropriate spatial resolution of digital elevation model (DEM) is a key step for effective landslide analysis based on remote sensing data. Several studies demonstrated that choosing the finest DEM resolution is not always the best solution.

A modified tank model including snowmelt and infiltration time lags for deep-seated landslides in alpine environments (Aggenalm, Germany) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
Deep-seated landslides are an important and widespread natural hazard within alpine regions and can have significant impacts on infrastructure. Pore water pressure plays an important role in determining the stability of hydrologically triggered deep ...

Performance Testing of Optical Flow Time Series Analyses Based on a Fast, High-Alpine Landslide

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Accurate remote analyses of high-alpine landslides are a key requirement for future alpine safety. In critical stages of alpine landslide evolution, UAS (unmanned aerial system) data can be employed using image registration to derive ground motion with ...
