Cost-sensitive rainfall thresholds for shallow landslides [PDF]
Landslides, 2021 AbstractThe risk management of rainfall-induced landslides requires reliable rainfall thresholds to issue early warning alerts. The practical application of these thresholds often leads to misclassifications, either false negative or false positive, which induce costs for the society. Since missed-alarm (false negative) and false-alarm (false positive)

Journal of Hydroinformatics, 2023 This study aims to model a probabilistic-based reliability assessment of the gridded rainfall thresholds for shallow landslide occurrence (RA_GRTE_LS) to quantify the effect of the uncertainty of rainfall in time and space on the rainfall thresholds ...

Rainfall thresholds for shallow landslide occurrence in Calabria, southern Italy [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 In many areas, rainfall is the primary trigger of landslides. Determining the rainfall conditions responsible for landslide occurrence is important, and may contribute to saving lives and properties.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Adopting the I3–R24 rainfall index and landslide susceptibility for the establishment of an early warning model for rainfall-induced shallow landslides [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Rainfall-induced landslides number among the most devastating natural hazards in the world and early warning models are urgently needed to reduce losses and fatalities.

Critical rainfall conditions for the initiation of torrential flows: results from the Rebaixader catchment (Central Pyrenees) [PDF]
, 2016 Torrential flows like debris flows or debris floods are fast movements formed by a mix of water and different amounts of unsorted solid material. They generally occur in steep torrents and pose high risk in mountainous areas.
