Hillslope memory and spatial and temporal distributions of earthquake-induced landslides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Large earthquakes commonly trigger widespread and destructive landsliding. However, current approaches to modeling regional-scale landslide activity do not account for the temporal evolution of progressive failure in brittle hillslope materials ...

Tree diversity’s impact on coarse woody debris biomass and spatial stability under different moisture stress levels in temperate forests, South Korea

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Coarse woody debris (CWD) contributes significantly to forest ecosystems, influencing their structure, function, and stability. Despite its importance, the drivers of CWD dynamics, particularly under different moisture conditions, remain unclear. In this

Landslide Hazard and Rainfall Threshold Assessment: Incorporating Shallow and Deep-Seated Failure Mechanisms with Physics-Based Models

open access: yesGeosciences
Landslides pose a significant threat worldwide, leading to numerous fatalities and severe economic losses. The city of Manizales, located in the Colombian Andes, is particularly vulnerable due to its steep topography and permeable volcanic ash-derived ...

Construction of a Joint Newmark–Runout Model for Seismic Landslide Risk Identification: A Case Study in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesLand
The key to seismic landslide risk identification resides in the accurate evaluation of seismic landslide hazards. The traditional evaluation models for seismic landslide hazard seldom consider the landslide dynamic runout process, leading to an ...

Experimental Landslide Monitoring Site of Poggio Baldi landslide (Santa Sofia, N-Apennine, Italy)

open access: yes, 2017
On 19th March 2010, a 4 million m3 landslide was re-activated in Poggio Baldi. The landslide severely damaged some private houses, a regional road and dammed the Bidente River.

Mechanisms of Shallow Rainfall-induced Landslides in Residual Soils in Humid Tropical Environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Landslide mechanisms and processes, particularly within the basal deformation region during failure, are poorly understood in the current knowledge.

Incorporating Effects of Slope Units and Sliding Areas into Seismically Induced Landslide Risk Modeling in Tectonically Active Mountainous Areas

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Traditional Newmark models estimate earthquake-induced landslide hazards by calculating permanent displacements exceeding the critical acceleration, which is determined from static factors of safety and hillslope geometries.

Ensemble learning landslide susceptibility assessment with optimized non-landslide samples selection

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Non-landslide samples influence the outcomes of landslide susceptibility assessment. Existing studies did not fully consider the equilibrium between landslide and non-landslide samples in similar environments, resulting in poor reliability of landslide ...

Landslide-inventory of the Cinque Terre National Park (Italy) and quantitative interaction with the trail network

open access: yes, 2019
The Cinque Terre National Park (38 km2) has recently recorded a remarkable increase in tourists involved in outdoor activities such as hiking. However, due to the actual slope degradation issues that affect this outstanding terraced landscape, hiking ...
