Using ensemble quantitative precipitation forecast for rainfall-induced shallow landslide predictions

open access: yesGeoscience Letters, 2022
Heavy rainfall brought by typhoons has been recognised as a major trigger of landslides in Taiwan. On average, 3.75 typhoons strike the island every year, and cause large amounts of shallow landslides and debris flow in mountainous region.

Hazard assessment of shallow loess landslides induced by rainfall:A case study of Liulin County of Shanxi Province

open access: yesZhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2022
Loess Plateau is one of the most developed areas of geological disasters in China, and the shallow loess landslide induced by rainfall is the most typical. Taking Liulin County, a typical loess landform area, as an example.

Biotic controls on shallow translational landslides [PDF]

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2012
ABSTRACTIn undisturbed tropical montane rainforests massive organic layers accommodate the majority of roots and only a small fraction of roots penetrate the mineral soil. We investigated the contribution of vegetation to slope stability in such environments by modifying a standard model for slope stability to include an organic layer with distinct ...

Mass-Movement Processes: Shallow Landslides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Landslides are deposits of rock, debris, and earth that have moved down a slope by gravity. The five major types of landslides based on mechanisms are falls, topples, slides, spreads, and flows. This article describes shallow slides, which are one of the most common types of landslides in all the world's climate zones and are characterized by a reduced
