Early detection of climate change-induced shallow landslides with IoT-technology

Communications Earth & Environment
Climate change in the Alps is increasing winter rainfall and raising the snowline, thereby elevating the risk of shallow landslides and threatening infrastructure.

Eocene to Miocene U‐Pb Geochronology Evolution of the Rio Grande Rise, Southwestern Atlantic: A Paleoceanographic Approach

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a major submarine feature in the South Atlantic that plays an important role in regional oceanographic dynamics. This study presents new U‐Pb geochronology of sedimentary rocks from the RGR, offering direct age constraints on carbonate and apatite embedded within Fe‐Mn crusts and associated foraminifera fossils ...

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

Impacts of Particle Density and Relative Submergence on the Sediment Entrainment Process: An Experimental Study Using a Smart Sediment Particle

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Quantifying the hydrodynamic forcing associated with sediment entrainment at the threshold of motion remains a fundamental challenge because bed–particle contact reactions are rarely measured concurrently. We conducted controlled flume experiments using a freely moving Smart Sediment Particle equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to

Influence of Rainfall Patterns on the Instability of Slopes

Civil Engineering Dimension, 2013
The assessment of rainstorm-induced shallow landslides is still a research topic of wide concern for scientists and engineers. This paper examined the effect of rainfall intensity distribution on shallow landslides.

Overland Flow Dynamics on a Cracked Soil Slope Under Drying‐Wetting Cycles: An Integrated Hydrological and Infrared Thermographic Study

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Although overland flow strongly governs soil erosion and sediment transport, its response to desiccation cracking induced by drying‐wetting cycles is not fully understood. This study addresses this gap through laboratory rainfall simulations on a slope model subjected to three drying‐wetting cycles.

Climatology of Storm Characteristics for Sub‐Daily Heavy Precipitation in the Greater Alpine Region

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Characterizing storms that generate heavy precipitation across different timescales is essential for parameterizing and assessing stochastic weather generators, evaluating climate models, enhancing risk management, and understanding climate change impacts.

A Statewide InSAR Velocity Map for California Produced by a Comprehensive Large Scale Analysis of ARIA Standard Products

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Routine Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) acquisitions from the Sentinel‐1 constellation enable monitoring of slow surface deformation (millimeters to centimeters per year), yet consistent and accessible pathways for producing validated, user‐ready velocity products remain limited.

Using ERA-5 LAND reanalysis rainfall data to better evaluate the performance of the regional shallow landslide early warning system of Piemonte (north-western Italy) in the context of climate change

Frontiers in Earth Science
To correctly understand how and whether climate change has influenced the behavior of shallow landslide events over the last century, it is essential to carefully identify the historical series of phenomena and their respective triggering causes, as well
