A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

New constraints on the postglacial evolution of Lago Maggiore, Northern Italy
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lago Maggiore is situated in an overdeepened valley reach at the southern margin of the European Alps, and its thick sediment infill allows the reconstruction of the postglacial valley and lake evolution. We study here the sedimentary succession in the lower Ossola Valley, which is infilled by ~500 m of deposits. In a marginal position, a core

Warning Model for Shallow Landslides Induced by Extreme Rainfall [PDF]
Water, 2015 In this study, the geophysical properties of the landslide-prone catchment of the Gaoping River in Taiwan were investigated using zones based on landslide history in conjunction with landslide analysis using a deterministic approach based on the TRIGRS (Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope-Stability) model.

Remote Sensing, 2022 Despite great advances in remote sensing technologies, accurate satellite information is sometimes challenged in tropical regions where dense vegetation prevents the instruments from retrieving reliable readings. In this work, we introduce a satellite-based landslide rainfall threshold for the country of Colombia by studying 4 years of rainfall ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding Earth‐surface processes along the fringes of large ice sheets is integral to deciphering cold‐region environmental variability and anticipating slope instability under climate change. We investigate the Meseta Chile Chico, a volcanic plateau in the central Patagonian Andes, located at the eastern margin of the former Patagonian ...

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 ...

First report on the soil seed bank damage due to fire at the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background The composition, density, and damage of the soil seed bank were studied at Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp (the world's largest refugee settlement), Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, after a major human‐induced fire on March 22, 2021, causing huge damage to human lives, settlements, and the ecosystem.
