Landslide and Mudflow Hazard Assessment in Georgia

2021
Geological hazard posed by landslides, debris flows, rock avalanches and mudflows has always been and still represents a major threat for communities all over the world, causing extensive damage and often times the destruction of infrastructures and facilities.

Landslide Inventory: Challenge for Landslide Hazard Assessment in Indonesia

2017
Landslide occurs almost every year in Indonesia which causes tremendous damages to life and properties. Landslide hazard map would allow the identification of hazard regions for the implementation of mitigation which can minimize the loss of human life and property from future landslide occurrences.

Landslide hazard assessment methodology in Georgia

ce/papers, 2018
AbstractGeological hazards always cause a threat to the important part of the population, make complicated their engineering‐agricultural activities and damage the infrastructure facilities. In the 21st century, protection of population and safe operation of infrastructure objects became significant social‐economic and geo‐ecologic problem.

Landslide mapping techniques and their use in the assessment of the landslide hazard

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part C: Solar, Terrestrial & Planetary Science, 2001
Different types of maps depicting spatial distribution and activity of landslides are discussed in this paper. Analysis of the existing literature on the topic, integrated with experience from a real case study in Southern Italy, helped to point out advantages and drawbacks of each map, and their possible use for mitigating the landslide hazard.

Landslide Hazard Assessment of Kashmir

Advances in Earth and Environmental Science
The Kashmir Valley is a scenic region located in north western India, known for its natural beauty and cultural significance. Despite its attractive features, the valley is situated in a multi hazard prone region and is vulnerable to multiple disasters like landslides, floods, earthquakes, cloud burst snow avalanches, resulting in widespread ...

Landslide Hazard Assessment and Historical Landslide Data — An Inseparable Couple?

2001
By definition, landslide hazard assessments must define the probability of landslide occurrence for a given region, area and/or time. If spatial information such as landslide distribution after a single landslide event is used for hazard analysis, the resulting hazard assessment is based purely on spatial components.

Landslide hazard mapping and risk assessment

Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 2001
Definitions Before landslide hazard mapping and risk assessment are reviewed, it is important to define terms and concepts closely in order to avoid the confusion and misuse that has occurred in some previously reported case histories. The most widely accepted and basic definitions in landslide studies are those provided by Varnes (1984).

Assessment of Global Landslide Hazard Hotspots

2012
In the Natural Disaster Hotspots project, Nadim et al. (2006) developed a model to identify the global distribution of landslide hazard and risk. The model was based on the global datasets of climate, lithology, earthquake activity, and topography; and it was used to identify the areas with the highest hazard, or “hotspots”.

Landslide hazard assessment in the context of development

1992
Landsliding continues to be under-recognised as a major hazard, due to human perception of a phenomenon that is diverse in character and ubiquitous in occurrence but rarely disastrous, so that impacts are frequent, small-scale and undramatic; their cumulative effect is therefore rarely appreciated within the burden of ‘natural tax’.

Landslide hazard assessment: Hydro-meteorological thresholds in Rwanda

2022
For the development of regional landslide early warning systems, empirical-statistical thresholds are of crucial importance. The thresholds indicate the meteorological and hydrological conditions initiating landslides and are an affordable approach towards reducing people’s vulnerability to landslide hazards.
