Invited perspectives: Integrating hydrologic information into the next generation of landslide early warning systems [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Although rainfall-triggered landslides are initiated by subsurface hydro-mechanical processes related to the loading, weakening, and eventual failure of slope materials, most landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) have relied solely on rainfall event ...

Use of induced acceleration to quantify the (de)stabilization effect of external and internal forces on postural responses [PDF]

, 2007
Due to the mechanical coupling between the body segments, it is impossible to see with the naked eye the causes of body movements and understand the interaction between movements of different body parts.

Assessment of plot-scale sediment transport on young moraines in the Swiss Alps using a fluorescent sand tracer [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Glacial retreat uncovers large bodies of unconsolidated sediment that are prone to erosion. However, our knowledge of overland flow (OF) generation and sediment transport on moraines that have recently become ice-free is still limited. To investigate how

Zonning susceptible areas of landslide using WLC and OWA methods -A case study in Mountain cliff Khan, Iran [PDF]

Sustainable Earth Trends, 2021
Landslide is among the most damaging ones, which has been accelerating in recent decades as human manipulation of natural systems has occurred. Mountain cliff Khan is located on the path of Saghez-Baneh and is considered as a highway to the west of the ...

A quantitative evaluation of physical and digital approaches to centre of mass estimation [PDF]

, 2017
Centre of mass is a fundamental anatomical and biomechanical parameter. Knowledge of centre of mass is essential to inform studies investigating locomotion and other behaviours, through its implications for segment movements, and on whole body factors ...

Future Trends in the Interdependence Between Flood Peaks and Volumes: Hydro‐Climatological Drivers and Uncertainty

Water Resources Research, 2019
Reliable flood estimates are needed for designing safe and cost‐effective flood protection structures. Classical flood estimation methods applied for deriving such estimates focus on peak discharge and neglect other important flood characteristics such ...

DebDaB: a database of supraglacial debris thickness and physical properties [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Rocky debris covers around 7.3 % of the global glacier area, influencing ice melt rates and the surface mass balance of glaciers, making the dynamics and hydrology of debris-covered glaciers distinct from those of clean-ice glaciers.

Changes in the flowing drainage network and stream chemistry during rainfall events for two pre-Alpine catchments [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Many headwater catchments contain non-perennial streams that flow only during wet conditions or in response to rainfall events. The onset and cessation of flow result in a dynamic stream network that periodically expands and contracts.
