Background Three groups of factors related to topography, geology and hydrology have influence on the triggering of shallow landslides in soil material. In this paper a single representative factor (T-factor) for the topography is proposed, which can be ...

Short Term Weather Forecasting for Shallow Landslide Prediction [PDF]
The paper describes the activities developed within the work package 4.1 of the UE/FP7 SAFELAND Project. The first scope of this research activity is to define and to implement a warning system for shallow landslide prediction, at large and slope scale, based on the forecast precipitation.

Susceptibility and triggering scenarios at a regional scale for shallow landslides
The work aims at identifying susceptible areas and pluviometric triggering scenarios at a regional scale in Calabria (Italy), with reference to shallow landsliding events. The proposed methodology follows a statistical approach and uses a database linked to a GIS that has been created to support the various steps of spatial data management and ...

Forest Composition Controls on Water Security in Nepal's Middle Hills
ABSTRACT Montane watersheds in the Himalayan region are becoming increasingly vulnerable to hydroclimatic extremes that cause floods, landslides, droughts and seasonal water scarcity. These risks are compounded by ecohydrological transformation resulting from shifts in forest composition, notably the widespread establishment of pine plantations, as ...

Directionality Scaling of Scalar and Vector Ground Motion Intensity Measures
ABSTRACT The azimuthal directionality of earthquake ground‐motion intensity measures (IMs) is conventionally described by the ratios between the orientation‐independent maximum (RotD100) and median (RotD50) values over the horizontal plane. This study presents a refined characterization of the directionality of 31 IMs, including spectral accelerations (

CALIBRATION OF DISTRIBUTED SHALLOW LANDSLIDE MODELS IN FORESTED LANDSCAPES
<p>In mountainous-forested soil mantled landscapes all around the world, rainfall-induced shallow landslides are one of the most common hydro-geomorphic hazards, which frequently impact the environment and human lives and properties. In order to produce shallow landslide susceptibility maps, several models have been proposed in the last decade ...

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.
