Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Using a Fuzzy Approach
Abstract The present paper proposes a new methodology to characterize the landslide susceptibility of Reggio Calabria territory. The values obtained were classified into five categories and exported into GIS environment to produce a landslide susceptibility map.

Abstract Landslides represent one of the most devastating natural hazards in mountainous regions, posing significant threats to human safety, infrastructure and ecosystems. It is well established that there is a connection between meteorological factors and landslide occurrences but the mechanisms of these interactions and the impacts of climatic ...

Disaggregation of Landslide Risk
Abstract Quantifying and disaggregating landslide risk through probabilistic landslide risk analysis (PLRA) is critical for land use regulation and risk reduction. However, no transferable model for PLRA currently exists that resolves landslide consequences to individual buildings at regional scales.

Abstract This study focuses on the clustered landslide event triggered by intense rainfall on 16 June 2024 in the Fujian–Guangdong–Jiangxi border region, aiming to develop an efficient deep learning model for high‐accuracy landslide susceptibility mapping. Based on the mapped landslide distribution and insights from field investigations, we constructed

Modeling Suffusion in Porous Media Using a Particle Scale Linear Decay Function
Abstract Suffusion with migration of fine particles (fines) in pores is a common subsurface hydrological process in nature, which has significant impacts on breaching of dikes, dam failure, and hillslope instability. However, the effects of soil properties and hydrodynamic conditions on fines migration, and the physical implications of mass flow rates ...

Understanding the human dimensions of wildfire risk at a community level in British Columbia, Canada
Abstract Recent spikes in the number of large and catastrophic wildfires in Canada pose significant risks to the environment and society. Rural and remote communities are especially at risk due to their location in wildfire‐prone areas, remoteness, and limited access or escape routes.

Towards a Common Approach for Mapping Areas Susceptible to Landslides in Europe [PDF]
In the framework of the European Soil Thematic Strategy, and the associated preparation of a directive on the protection and sustainable use of soil, landslides were recognized as a soil threat requiring specific strategies for risk assessment and ...

ABSTRACT We investigate whether and how investors’ experiences of natural disasters affect the cost of raising new equity in a setting of seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). Our proprietary database contains comprehensive information on geographical distribution, investor profiles, investor office location, and bidding specifics related to SEOs.

Compensating personal climate response inefficacy with political conservatism?
Abstract People grapple with the reality that their individual actions are too insignificant to impact climate change—a phenomenon known as personal climate response inefficacy. The compensatory control theory articulates that people may turn to overarching social institutions or ideologies (e.g., conservatism) when they lack personal control. Inspired
