Landslide susceptibility mapping using multi-criteria evaluation techniques in Chittagong Metropolitan Area, Bangladesh [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Landslides are a common hazard in the highly urbanized hilly areas in Chittagong Metropolitan Area (CMA), Bangladesh. The main cause of the landslides is torrential rain in short period of time.

The Progressive Development and Post-failure Behaviour of Deep-seated Landslide Complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The concept of progressive shear surface development remains to be fully understood. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms of progressive shear surface development to failure, and the subsequent post-failure behaviour, of deep-seated landslide ...

Hyperconcentrated flows shape bedrock channels

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Geomorphological evidence of incised bedrock channels is widespread in all mountain landscapes worldwide. However, the processes controlling incision and gorge formation in bedrock have not directly been observed in an actualistic way.

Dynamic path-dependent landslide susceptibility modelling [PDF]

open access: yesNatural 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 ...

Possibilities of urban flood reduction through distributed-scale rainwater harvesting

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2020
Urban flooding in Chittagong City usually occurs during the monsoon season and a rainwater harvesting (RWH) system can be used as a remedial measure. This study examines the feasibility of rain barrel RWH system at a distributed scale within an urbanized

Mobility of dry granular flows over contrasting erodible bed materials in laboratory experiments [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Erosion and entrainment exchange mass and momentum across the flow–bed interface and can strongly modify mass-flow mobility. However, the material properties that control whether erosive flows accelerate, decelerate, or maintain their mobility remain ...

Dynamics and Deposits of Pyroclastic Density Currents in Magmatic and Phreatomagmatic Eruptions Revealed by a Two‐Layer Depth‐Averaged Model

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
A pyroclastic density current (PDC) is characterized by its strong stratification of particle concentration; it consists of upper dilute and lower dense currents, which generally control the dynamics and deposits of PDCs, respectively.
