Initiation of a Stable Convective Hydroclimatic Regime in Central America Circa 9000 Years BP [PDF]
, 2020 Many Holocene hydroclimate records show rainfall changes that vary with local orbital insolation. However, some tropical regions display rainfall evolution that differs from gradual precessional pacing, suggesting that direct rainfall forcing effects ...

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2020 Landslides are one of the natural disasters that cause severe damage to life. The frequency of landslide has increased with global climate change and population growth, so early warning efforts are needed.

Rainfall induced shallow landslides: rainfall thresholds and antecedent conditions
, 2022 <p>Landslides are a natural hazard affecting alpine regions all over the world. They cause not only substantial economic damages, but also human casualties. The focus here is on rainfall induced shallow landslides, which happen following an increase in the pore water pressure in the soil.

Flooding threshold rainfall events in Bermuda [PDF]
Weather, 2018 Recently, much media attention has been drawn to the relatively frequent ‘nuisance’ flooding of urban low‐lying and poor drainage areas in Bermuda. This flooding results in traffic disruptions and loss of business, with only minor property damage. More significant flooding with property inundations is relatively rare.

Experimental Setup for Splash Erosion Monitoring—Study of Silty Loam Splash Characteristics [PDF]
, 2020 An experimental laboratory setup was developed and evaluated in order to investigate detachment of soil particles by raindrop splash impact. The soil under investigation was a silty loam Cambisol, which is typical for agricultural fields in Central ...

Threshold modeling of extreme spatial rainfall [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2013 We propose an approach to spatial modeling of extreme rainfall, based on max‐stable processes fitted using partial duration series and a censored threshold likelihood function. The resulting models are coherent with classical extreme‐value theory and allow the consistent treatment of spatial dependence of rainfall using ideas related to those of ...
