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.

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.

How Changing Narratives About the Future Shape Policymaking for the Long Term

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How can we explain decisions by governments to engage in policy investments—accepting short‐term costs in return for anticipated gains in the longer term—after previously sustaining the status quo? Our article examines the role of narratives in changing expectations about the future as a key driver of intertemporal policymaking. In light of an

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.

Appraising Policies Through Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation: Lessons From a Systematic Review of Applications

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to renewed interest in analytical tools that address complex policy problems and move beyond linear‐rational approaches in policy appraisal, Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) integrates participatory approaches with multi‐criteria analysis (MCA), thereby incorporating specialised knowledge and diverse social values and ...

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.

Landslides triggered by the 12 January 2010 Port-au-Prince, Haiti, M_w = 7.0 earthquake: visual interpretation, inventory compiling, and spatial distribution statistical analysis [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014
The 12 January 2010 Port-au-Prince, Haiti, earthquake (Mw= 7.0) triggered tens of thousands of landslides. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlations of the occurrence of landslides and the thicknesses of their erosion with topographic,

Landslide susceptibility mapping using multi-criteria evaluation techniques in Chittagong Metropolitan Area, Bangladesh [PDF]

, 2015
Landslides are a common hazard in the highly urbanized hilly areas in Chittagong Metropolitan Area (CMA), Bangladesh. The main cause of the landslides is torrential rain in short period of time.
