Scaling Properties of Rainfall-Induced Landslides Predicted by a Physically Based Model

open access: yes, 2014
Natural landslides exhibit scaling properties revealed by power law relationships. These relationships include the frequency of the size (e.g., area, volume) of the landslides, and the rainfall conditions responsible for slope failures in a region ...

Analysis of land use in landslide affected areas along the Łososina Dolna Commune, the Outer Carpathians, Poland

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017
Land use of landslides is still a poorly investigated problem. Landslides cannot be regarded as areas unsuitable for use since they occupy a significantly large surface.

Water and ice on Mars: Evidence from Valles Marineris [PDF]

open access: yes
An important contribution to the volatile history of Mars comes from a detailed study of Valles Marineris, where excellent stereoimages and a three-dimensional view of the upper Martian crust permit unusual insights.

Prioritisation for adaptation in tropical forest ecosystems : Working paper n°44 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Under natural resource ecosystems shared across communities and nations, the distribution among stakeholders of risks and vulnerability to climate change is likely to be uneven on account of the nature of their stakes in the ecosystems, the degree of ...

Satellite Image Survey of Landslides Triggered by the 2024 Wushi Earthquake, Xinjiang, China

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal
On January 23, 2024, an Ms7.1 (Mw7.0) earthquake struck Wushi County in the Aksu Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. The Wushi earthquake triggered various types of landslides, including rockfalls and rolling stones.

Identification and Deformation Characteristics of Active Landslides at Large Hydropower Stations at the Early Impoundment Stage: A Case Study of the Lianghekou Reservoir Area in Sichuan Province, Southwest China

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Reservoir impoundment imposes a significant triggering effect on bank landslides. Studying the early identification of landslides and their stability concerning reservoir water levels and rainfall is vital for guaranteeing the safety of residents and ...

Time distribution and loss of scaling in granular flow

open access: yes, 1999
Two cellular automata models with directed mass flow and internal time scales are studied by numerical simulations. Relaxation rules are a combination of probabilistic critical height (probability of toppling $p$) and deterministic critical slope ...

The middle Waikato Basin and hills [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The middle Waikato (or Hamilton) Basin is a roughly oval-shaped depression more than 80 km north to south and more than 40 km wide. The basin, except in the south, is almost completely surrounded by ranges up to 300 m high, broken by only a few gaps.
