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

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.

Low‐Intensity Precipitation Dominates Peninsular Spain (1961–2022)

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Spatial analysis across Spain shows a shift in precipitation regimes (1961–2022) toward more frequent low‐intensity precipitation and reduced high‐intensity events, with localised increases in heavy precipitation along some coastal areas. This redistribution—captured through changes in precipitation frequency (RF) and volumetric contribution (RC ...

Geochronological reconstruction of the Lateglacial deglaciation in the Arve Valley (Northern French Alps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Engineering geological assessment of the Barwas landslide Himachal Pradesh

Discover Geoscience
Slope failures are very common during the monsoon season in hilly terrains. The occurrence can be attributed to the interaction of various controlling factors, including geological structures, terrain morphology, hydrological processes, and human-induced

Evolution of Pajonales Landslide (Tirajana Depression, Gran Canaria): A Case of Advancing Landslide [PDF]

, 2017
We studied the evolution of different stages of Pajonales landslide (Tirajana Depression, Gran Canaria), based on the geotechnical investigations of both in situ and mobilized volcanic materials.

The mental health impacts of climate change across diverse global settings

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change represents a growing threat to global mental health, generating traumatic stress exposures directly through climate‐related disasters and indirectly through social networks and pervasive media coverage. This paper provides an overview of the symposium “The Mental Health Effects of Climate Change Across Diverse Global Settings ...

Effect of rock weathering, clay mineralogy, and geological structures in the formation of large landslide, a case study from Dumre Besei landslide, Lesser Himalaya Nepal [PDF]

, 2013
The Dumre Besi landslide is one of the largest and most problematic failures on the Mugling-Narayanghat Highway in central Nepal. Though it was triggered by the monsoon rain of 2003, geological structures and rock weathering have played a key role in its
