Multitemporal dendrogeomorphological analysis of slope instability in Upper Orcia Valley (Southern Tuscany, Italy) [PDF]
, 2016 The Upper Orcia Valley (Southern Tuscany, Italy) is a key site for the comprehension of denudation processes typically acting in Mediterranean badlands (calanchi) areas, thanks to the availability of long-lasting erosion monitoring datasets and the ...

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.

Invited perspectives: Integrating hydrologic information into the next generation of landslide early warning systems [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesAlthough 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 ...

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

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 ...
