Fatal landslides in Europe

, 2016
Landslides are a major hazard causing human and large economic losses worldwide. However, the quantification of fatalities and casualties is highly underestimated and incomplete, thus, the estimation of landslide risk is rather ambitious. Hence, a spatio-

Weather Action: A Study on the Industry Peer Effects of Corporate Climate Risk Information Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese

The role of frictional heating in the development of catastrophic landslides [PDF]

, 2009
In this work, a new thermo-mechanical model is developed by improving on an existing one, applicable to large deep seated landslides and rockslides consisting of a coherent mass sliding on a thin clayey layer.

Leader–Member Exchange, Compliance and Sustainability Performance in Carbon‐Market Governance: A Global South Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how Leader–Member Exchange quality shapes engagement, compliance, and sustainability performance within Uganda's emerging carbon‐trading market, adopting LMX theory to sustainability governance in a Global South context. A cross‐sectional survey of 206 carbon‐market participants in Uganda measured LMX quality, environmental

Multi-level confidence prediction method for landslide displacement based on BSLO-optimized decomposition and Transformer model

Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao
This study proposes a method for predicting step-type landslide displacement using a BSLO-Transformer approach, aiming to overcome limitations such as experience-dependent parameter selection in variational mode decomposition (VMD), insufficient long ...

Insight into the Characteristics and Triggers of Loess Landslides during the 2013 Heavy Rainfall Event in the Tianshui Area, China

Remote Sensing, 2023
The 2013 heavy rainfall event (from June to July) in the Tianshui area triggered the most serious rainfall-induced group-occurring landslides since 1984, causing extensive casualties and economic losses.
