Seasonal and inter-annual evolution of the deformation of two Arctic landslides [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics
Landslides in glacial and periglacial environments are increasingly affected by climate change, with sudden failures reported in high mountain regions and the Arctic. The complex mechanisms behind these events are often poorly understood due to a lack of

Construction of three-dimensional model and stability analysis of dangerous rock mass based on nap-of-the-object photogrammetry and LiDAR technology

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
The collapse of high-steep dangerous rock is a common geological disaster in the mountainous areas of China. However, due to the limitation of objective factors such as traffic difficulties, the efficiency of artificial geological exploration is low and ...

HYDROLOGICAL AND STABILITY MODELLING OF INITIAL LANDSLIDES TRIGGERING DEBRIS FLOWS IN ASH-FALL DEPOSITS COVERING HILLSLOPES SURROUNDING SOMMA-VESUVIUS (SOUTHERN ITALY). [PDF]

, 2010
Rainfall-induced debris flows involving ash-fall pyroclastic deposits covering steep mountain slopes that surround the Somma-Vesuvius volcano, are natural events representing the main cause of risk for urban settlements located at footslopes.

Suitability analysis and recommendations for professional monitoring techniques and methods of landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir: A case study of the Zigui section in Hubei Province

Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao
The Three Gorges Reservoir area is one of the earliest regions in China to systematically implement professional monitoring and early warning for geological disasters such as landslides. Since the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir in 2003, nearly

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Automatic landslide length and width estimation based on the geometric processing of the bounding box and the geomorphometric analysis of DEMs [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
The morphology of landslides is influenced by the slide/flow of the material downslope. Usually, the distance of the movement of the material is greater than the width of the displaced material (especially for flows, but also the majority of slides); the

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Evaluation of factors controlling large earthquake-induced landslides by the Wenchuan earthquake [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012
During the 12 May 2008, Wenchuan earthquake in China, more than 15 000 landslides were triggered by the earthquake. Among these landslides, there were 112 large landslides generated with a plane area greater than 50 000 m².

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.
