Using satellite rainfall products to assess the triggering conditions for hydro-morphological processes in different geomorphological settings in China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Hydro-morphological processes (HMP, i.e. all processes contained within the spectrum defined between debris flows and flash floods) initiate in response to intense rainfall events.

Surface water flood warnings in England: overview, Assessment and recommendations based on survey responses and workshops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Following extensive surface water flooding (SWF) in England in summer 2007, progress has been made in improving the management and prediction of this type of flooding.

ReAFFIRM: Real-time Assessment of Flash Flood Impacts: a Regional high-resolution Method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Flash floods evolve rapidly in time, which poses particular challenges to emergency managers. One way to support decision-making is to complement models that estimate the flash flood hazard (e.g.

Trends in the start of the wet season over Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A quarter of a century of daily rainfall data from the Global Telecommunications System are used to define the temporal and spatial variability of the start of the wet season over Africa and surrounding extreme south of Europe and parts of the Middle ...

Hydrological controls on river network connectivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study proposes a probabilistic approach for the quantitative assessment of reach- and network-scale hydrological connectivity as dictated by river flow space–time variability. Spatial dynamics of daily streamflows are estimated based on climatic and

A susceptibility-based rainfall threshold approach for landslide occurrence [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Abstract. Rainfall threshold determination is a pressing issue in the landslide scientific community. While main improvements have been made towards more reproducible techniques for the identification of triggering conditions for landsliding, the now well-established rainfall intensity or event – duration thresholds for landsliding suffer from several ...

Rainfall thresholds and flood warning: an operative case study [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2009
Abstract. An operative methodology for rainfall thresholds definition is illustrated, in order to provide at critical river section optimal flood warnings. Threshold overcoming could produce a critical situation in river sites exposed to alluvial risk and trigger the prevention and emergency system alert.

Study on the rainfall threshold of red strata landslides in Bazhong, Sichuan using Kriging interpolation method

open access: yesZhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao
The Rainfall thresholds are among the most commonly used criteria for predicting rainfall-induced landslides. However, existing empirical rainfall thresholds mainly focused on regional landslide warnings, lacking consideration for the spatial variability

Effects of drainage ditches and stone bunds on topographical thresholds for gully head development in North Ethiopia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Gully erosion is an extreme process of land degradation operating in different regions of the world. A common way to quantify the susceptibility of land to gully incision is the use of topographical thresholds for different land use types.

Rainfall thresholds for the possible occurrence of landslides in Italy [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010
In Italy, rainfall is the primary trigger of landslides that frequently cause fatalities and large economic damage. Using a variety of information sources, we have compiled a catalogue listing 753 rainfall events that have resulted in landslides in Italy.
