A new borehole wire extensometer with high accuracy and stability for observation of local geodynamic processes [PDF]

, 2012
Very stable and reliable instruments with high accuracy are required in field measurements for continuous monitoring local geodynamic processes, such as tectonic movements, ground motions in landslide prone areas, etc.

The Effects of Rainfall Temporal Variability on Landscape Evolution

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Rainfall characteristics such as intensity, duration, and frequency are key determinants of the hydrogeomorphic response of a catchment. The presence of non‐linear and threshold effects makes the relationship between rainfall variability and geomorphological dynamics difficult to quantify.

Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

Reliability Analysis of Loess Landslide Stability Under Earthquake

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Traditionally, the stability coefficient of the fixed value analysis method is used as the evaluation index of the stability of the loess landslide under the earthquake. This method does not consider the randomness and variability of the calculated parameters, which can not reflect the real stability of the landslide.

Aseismic Slip on the Ilyak Strike‐Slip Fault (Tajikistan) and Active Fault and Landslide Hazards in and Around the Tajik Basin Revealed by InSAR

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Ilyak fault in Tajikistan is an E‐W striking strike‐slip fault, which forms the northern boundary of the actively deforming Tajik Basin fold and thrust belt. Determining the activity of the Ilyak fault is important for understanding the hazard to the nearby capital city of Dushanbe, and more generally in assessing the role of lithology in ...

Geoecology of limestone‐hosted dryland calcicolous plants, North Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1100-1119, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Dryland calcicolous plants are drought‐tolerant species that are adapted to survive on alkaline low‐nutrient bare substrates derived from limestone around the world. Outcrops of the Otekaike Limestone of North Otago host some rare low‐growing (<10 cm) endemic calcicoles, and conservation reserves have been created at some localities.

Forward Modeling and validation of a new formulation to compute self-potential signals associated with ground water flow [PDF]

, 2007
The classical formulation of the coupled hydroelectrical flow in porous media is based on a linear formulation of two coupled constitutive equations for the electrical current density and the seepage velocity of the water phase and obeying Onsager's

The formation mechanism of river erosion-induced loess landslide

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2018
The Jingyang South Plateau is located near the right bank of Jinghe river, belonging to Weibei Loess Plateau. Since the large-scale irrigation from 1976s, many river erosion-induced loess landslides have occurred in the Jingyang South Plateau. Landslide disasters has seriously affected local economic development and the safety of people's live and ...

Research on the instability mechanism of loess landslides based on preferential infiltration of rainfall

Frontiers in Earth Science
Loess landslides represent a prevalent and severe type of geological disaster in the Loess Plateau and its surrounding regions. Their frequency and intensity are notably exacerbated under rainfall conditions.
