Sph propagation modelling of an earthflow from southern italy [PDF]

, 2013
Natural slopes in clayey soils are often affected by failures which may cause the onset of landslides of the flow type travelling large distances and damaging buildings and major infrastructures.

Groundwater recharge in a steep mountain slope and its implications for slope stability: Åknes rockslide (Norway)

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Åknes rockslide lies in a steep mountain slope, dipping on average 30 to 35° towards Sunnylv Fjord, Western Norway. As part of the early-warning system implemented for this rockslide, hydraulic heads have been continuously monitored since 2007.

Finite driving rate and anisotropy effects in landslide modeling [PDF]

, 2006
In order to characterize landslide frequency-size distributions and individuate hazard scenarios and their possible precursors, we investigate a cellular automaton where the effects of a finite driving rate and the anisotropy are taken into account.

Topographic location and connectivity to channel of earthquake- and rainfall-induced landslides in Loess Plateau area

Scientific Reports
The position of landslides on a slope plays a crucial role in determining landslide susceptibility and the likelihood of landslide debris interacting with the fluvial system.

Investigating the reactivation of historical landslides during the 2022 Luding MS6.8 earthquakeKey points

Earthquake Science
On September 5, 2022, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of MS6.8 struck Luding County in Sichuan Province, China, triggering thousands of landslides along the Dadu River in the northwest-southeast (NW-SE) direction.

Long-runout landslides with associated longitudinal ridges in Iceland as analogues of Martian landslide deposits [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics
Much work has been done to study the behaviour of long-runout landslides and their associated longitudinal ridges, yet the origin of the hypermobility of such landslides and the formation mechanism of longitudinal ridges are poorly understood.

Mapping UK hazards [PDF]

, 2010
The BGS has a 175-year history of mapping and recording geology including unstable land. However, public awareness of such potential problems was not awakened until the Aberfan disaster, 44 years ago, when a school was buried by a landslide from a coal

The worsening impacts of land reclamation assessed with Sentinel-1: The Rize (Turkey) test case [PDF]

, 2019
Massive amounts of land are being reclaimed to build airports, new cities, ports, and highways. Hundreds of kilometers are added each year, as coastlines are extended further out to the sea.

Using the root spread information of pioneer plants to quantify their mitigation potential against shallow landslides and erosion in temperate humid climates [PDF]

, 2016
The aim of this paper was to quantify the mitigation potential of pioneer herbs against shallow landslidesand erosion in temperate humid climates and to identify key plant information to aid species selectionfor slope stabilisation. The objectives ranged
