Flood and landslide warning based on rainfall thresholds and soil moisture indexes: the HEWS (Hydrohazards Early Warning System) for Sicily [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Geosciences, 2017
The main focus of the paper is to present a flood and landslide early warning system, named HEWS (Hydrohazards Early Warning System), specifically developed for the Civil Protection Department of Sicily, based on the combined use of rainfall ...

Towards a Transferable Antecedent Rainfall—Susceptibility Threshold Approach for Landsliding [PDF]

open access: yesWater, 2019
Determining rainfall thresholds for landsliding is crucial in landslide hazard evaluation and early warning system development, yet challenging in data-scarce regions. Using freely available satellite rainfall data in a reproducible automated procedure, the bootstrap-based frequentist threshold approach, coupling antecedent rainfall (AR) and landslide ...

Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Critical rainfall thresholds for triggering shallow landslides in the Serchio River Valley (Tuscany, Italy) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012
The Serchio River Valley, in north-western Tuscany, is a well-known tourism area between the Apuan Alps and the Apennines. This area is frequently hit by heavy rainfall, which often triggers shallow landslides, debris flows and debris torrents, sometimes

Experimental Demonstration of Temporally Aware Fault‐Tolerant Sensor Fusion Using Memristive Associative Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
In dynamic driving scenarios, the proposed approach ensures only temporally aligned sensor inputs to make driving decisions, preventing false activations. By enabling selective hardware‐level learning, it achieves fast, reliable responses under noisy conditions.

Determination of Rainfall Thresholds for Landslide Prediction Using an Algorithm-Based Approach: Case Study in the Darjeeling Himalayas, India

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Landslides are one of the most devastating and commonly recurring natural hazards in the Indian Himalayas. They contribute to infrastructure damage, land loss and human casualties.

Effectiveness of the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) Program: Interval Selections With Uniform Premium Subsidy Rates

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines interval selection in the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) program and evaluates how uniform premium subsidy rates affect optimal interval selections. Using South Dakota as a case study, we show a trend of increasing selection of nonproduction intervals from 2013 to 2024, raising concerns about program

A typhoon-induced debris flow warning model integrating rainfall thresholds with geological factors

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Typhoon-induced debris flows pose a significant threat to the southeastern coastal regions of China. The existing typhoon-induced debris flow warning models, however, are largely limited in the refinement of their rainfall thresholds and in their lack of

Rainfall thresholds for shallow landslides based on physical models: application in a sub-basin of the Valle de Aburrá (Colombia)•

open access: yesDyna, 2019
An analysis of the rainfall conditions and the influence of the infiltration processes on the slope stability are important in tropical mountain terrains due to the wide occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides.
