Critical rainfall conditions for the initiation of torrential flows: results from the Rebaixader catchment (Central Pyrenees) [PDF]

, 2016
Torrential flows like debris flows or debris floods are fast movements formed by a mix of water and different amounts of unsorted solid material. They generally occur in steep torrents and pose high risk in mountainous areas.

Modeling Shallow Landslide Runout Distance in Eocene Flysch Facies Using Empirical–Statistical Models (Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye)

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
Uncertainties related to runout distances in shallow landslide analyses may not only affect lives but may also result in economic losses. Owing to the increase in shallow landslides, which are especially triggered by heavy rainfall, runout distances have

Landslides on Ceres: Diversity and Geologic Context. [PDF]

, 2019
Landslides are among the most widespread geologic features on Ceres. Using data from Dawn's Framing Camera, landslides were previously classified based upon geomorphologic characteristics into one of three archetypal categories, Type 1(T1), Type 2 (T2 ...

Run-out of landslides in brittle soils [PDF]

, 2016
One of the factors causing the acceleration of landslides is the loss of strength of the soil involved in the potential unstable mechanism. The travelled distance and the landslide velocity, a key factor in risk analysis, will be determined by the loss ...

Modeling shallow soil moisture dynamics in mountainous landslide active regions

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Under the worsening climate change, the mountainous landslide active regions are more likely to suffer severe disasters threatening residents. To predict the occurrence of landslides, shallow soil moisture lying in the interface of the hydrological ...

Towards the optimal Pixel size of dem for automatic mapping of landslide areas [PDF]

, 2017
Determining appropriate spatial resolution of digital elevation model (DEM) is a key step for effective landslide analysis based on remote sensing data. Several studies demonstrated that choosing the finest DEM resolution is not always the best solution.
