HYDROLOGICAL AND STABILITY MODELLING OF INITIAL LANDSLIDES TRIGGERING DEBRIS FLOWS IN ASH-FALL DEPOSITS COVERING HILLSLOPES SURROUNDING SOMMA-VESUVIUS (SOUTHERN ITALY). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Rainfall-induced debris flows involving ash-fall pyroclastic deposits covering steep mountain slopes that surround the Somma-Vesuvius volcano, are natural events representing the main cause of risk for urban settlements located at footslopes.

Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslide on Unsaturated Soil Slopes [PDF]

open access: yesSustainability, 2017
This paper investigates rainfall-induced landslides on partially saturated soil slopes using the 2011 Umyeonsan landslides at the center of Seoul, Korea. An integrated analysis of rainfall-induced landslide was carried out through laboratory tests, field tests, and numerical analysis.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Modeling of Transient Flow in Unsaturated Geomaterials for Rainfall-Induced Landslides Using a Novel Spacetime Collocation Method

open access: yesGeofluids, 2018
The modeling of transient flow in unsaturated soils for rainfall-induced landslides using a novel spacetime collocation method is presented. A numerical solution obtained in the spacetime coordinate system is approximated by superpositioning Trefftz ...

Evaluating critical rainfall conditions for large-scale landslides by detecting event times from seismic records [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
One purpose of landslide research is to establish early warning thresholds for rainfall-induced landslides. Insufficient observations of past events have inhibited the analysis of critical rainfall conditions triggering landslides. This difficulty may

First report on the soil seed bank damage due to fire at the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The composition, density, and damage of the soil seed bank were studied at Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp (the world's largest refugee settlement), Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, after a major human‐induced fire on March 22, 2021, causing huge damage to human lives, settlements, and the ecosystem.

Application and verification of a multivariate real-time early warning method for rainfall-induced landslides: implication for evolution of landslide-generated debris flows

open access: yesLandslides, 2020
Rainfall-induced landslides are a frequent and often catastrophic geological disaster, and the development of accurate early warning systems for such events is a primary challenge in the field of risk reduction.

Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐
