Landslide risk management through spatial analysis and stochastic prediction for territorial resilience evaluation [PDF]

, 2019
Natural materials, such as soils, are influenced by many factors acting during their formative and evolutionary process: atmospheric agents, erosion and transport phenomena, sedimentation conditions that give soil properties a non-reducible randomness by

Bank collapse-landslide failure mechanism of typical reverse rock bank slope in Three Gorges Reservoir area

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
At present, most of the reverse rock slope toppling instability failure is interpreted as a progressive overall instability failure controlled by dip angle and structural plane. However, the phenomenon of leading edge collapse is common in some reservoir

Criteria for rapid sliding I.: a review of Vaiont case [PDF]

, 2010
Vaiont slide has been represented by a model of two interacting evolutive wedges. Mass conservation during the motion implies that the upper wedge transfers mass to the lower one through an internal shearing plane.

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 ...

Spatiotemporal evolution, mineralogical composition, and transport mechanisms of long-runout landslides in Valles Marineris, Mars [PDF]

, 2020
Long-runout landslides with transport distances of >50 km are ubiquitous in Valles Marineris (VM), yet the transport mechanisms remain poorly understood.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Determining the debris flow yield strength of weathered soils: a case study of the Miryang debris flow in the Republic of Korea

Scientific Reports
Debris flow hazards are often interpreted through back-calculated simulation analysis or empirical methods. The mobility of a debris flow is greatly influenced by mechanical and hydrological parameters. The strength parameters play important roles in the
