The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Characteristics of loess landslides triggered by the 1927 Mw8.0 earthquake that occurred in Gulang County, Gansu Province, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The 1927 Gulang Mw8.0 earthquake was one of the largest earthquakes in Gansu, China, which triggered lots of loess landslides. However, the loess of the study area is atypical and different from that of the Loess Plateau.

Landslide motion assessment including rate effects and thermal interactions: revisiting the Canelles landslide [PDF]

, 2019
The re-activation of a large (40 Mm3) landslide on the valley slopes of a reservoir motivated a research initiative to estimate the risk of a fast-sliding mass moving into the reservoir.

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Run-out of landslides in brittle soils [PDF]

, 2016
One of the factors causing the acceleration of landslides is the loss of strength of the soil involved in the potential unstable mechanism. The travelled distance and the landslide velocity, a key factor in risk analysis, will be determined by the loss ...

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Anti-slide pile structure development: New design concept and novel structure

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The anti-slide pile is one of the most used measures in landslide control globally. Following its application, various structures have been developed. In this paper, we analyze the anti-slide pile structure development process and extract two development
