Controls on the size distributions of shallow landslides. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance Shallow landslides are destructive and widespread natural hazards, but what controls their size distribution is poorly understood. We present a generalized theory to explain landslide size distribution at specific locations by combining a mechanistic slope stability model with a spatial-statistical description of the ...

Deep learning forecast of rainfall-induced shallow landslides. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 AbstractRainfall triggered landslides occur in all mountain ranges posing threats to people and the environment. Given the projected climate changes, the risk posed by landslides is expected to increase, and the ability to anticipate their occurrence is key for effective risk reduction.

Tree-root control of shallow landslides [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017 Tree roots have long been recognized to increase slope stability by reinforcing the strength of soils. Slope stability models usually include the effects of roots by adding an apparent cohesion to the soil to simulate root strength.

Investigation on Surface Tilting in the Failure Process of Shallow Landslides. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2020 In recent decades, early warning systems to predict the occurrence of landslides using tilt sensors have been developed and employed in slope monitoring due to their low cost and simple installation. Although many studies have been carried out to validate the efficiency of these early warning systems, few studies have been carried out to investigate ...

Rainfall-induced debris flows and shallow landslides in Ribeira Valley, Brazil: Main characteristics and inventory mapping [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Debris flows are one of Brazil's most frequent mass movement processes, triggered by extreme rainfall events and initial volume provided by shallow landslides.

Characteristics and causes of natural and human-induced landslides in a tropical mountainous region: the rift flank west of Lake Kivu (Democratic Republic of the Congo) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Tropical mountainous regions are often identified as landslide hotspots with growing population pressure. Anthropogenic factors are assumed to play a role in the occurrence of landslides in these densely populated regions, yet the relative importance of ...

A Review of the Prediction Methods for Landslide Runout
Proceedings, 2023 Shallow landslides, which are generally triggered by extreme precipitation events, are increasingly becoming common in the world. Societies have had difficulty in keeping up with the exponentially rising rate of shallow landslides in recent years ...

A model for triggering mechanisms of shallow landslides [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2008 Abstract. Rainfall-induced shallow landslides, also called "soil slips", are becoming ever more frequent all over the world and are receiving a rising interest in consequence of the heavy damage they produce. At the University of Parma, a simplified physically based model has been recently set up for the evaluation of the safety factor of slopes which ...
