Impact of rainfall spatial aggregation on the identification of debris flow occurrence thresholds [PDF]
The systematic underestimation observed in debris flow early warning thresholds has been associated with the use of sparse rain gauge networks to represent highly non-stationary rainfall fields.

Preliminary rainfall thresholds for shallow landslides in Calabria
Italy is highly subject to geo-hydrological risk, and in particular to landslide risk. Even though slope movements may be caused by several causes, most of landslide events in Italy are triggered by rainfall. Determining the amount of precipitation needed to cause landslides is therefore a fundamental task (GUZZETTI et al., 2008).

A review of rainfall thresholds for triggering flash floods
The rainfall threshold is an important indicator of flash flood conditions. In this study,the existing methods for computing rainfall thresholds are divided into two categories and reviewed on the basis of their technical principles.The two categories ...

How much does the rainfall temporal resolution affect rainfall thresholds for landslide triggering?
In many areas of the world, the prediction of rainfall-induced landslides is usually carried out by means of empirical rainfall thresholds. Their definition is complicated by several issues, among which are the evaluation and quantification of diverse ...

Rainfall Thresholds and Other Approaches for Landslide Prediction and Early Warning [PDF]
Landslides are destructive processes causing casualties and damage worldwide. The majority of the landslides are triggered by intense and/or prolonged rainfall.
