Run-out of landslides in brittle soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
One of the factors causing the acceleration of landslides is the loss of strength of the soil involved in the potential unstable mechanism. The travelled distance and the landslide velocity, a key factor in risk analysis, will be determined by the loss ...

An integrated approach for evaluating the effectiveness of landslide risk reduction in unplanned communities in the Caribbean [PDF]

open access: yes
Despite the recognition of the need for mitigation approaches to landslide risk in developing countries, the delivery of ‘on-the-ground’ measures is rarely undertaken. With respect to other ‘natural’ hazards it is widely reported that mitigation can pay.

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
