Subaqueous landslides at the distal basin of Lago Nahuel Huapi (Argentina): Towards a tsunami hazard evaluation in Northern Patagonian lakes [PDF]

, 2018
The May 22nd, 1960 Valdivia earthquake, Chile (Mw 9.5) triggered a series of subaqueous mass-wasting processes (debris flows and slides) in Lago Nahuel Huapi (Argentina), generating a tsunami-like wave that hit the coasts of San Carlos de Bariloche ...

Narrating Entanglement Without Dehumanisation in Contemporary Eco‐Fiction

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023). Both novels use multiperspective narration in the service of entanglement narratives, forms of storytelling that emphasise the interconnection of human and nonhuman life.

A computational toy model for shallow landslides: Molecular Dynamics approach

, 2012
The aim of this paper is to propose a 2D computational algorithm for modeling of the trigger and the propagation of shallow landslides caused by rainfall. We used a Molecular Dynamics (MD) inspired model, similar to discrete element method (DEM), that is

Soil erosion in the Alps : causes and risk assessment [PDF]

, 2010
The issue of soil erosion in the Alps has long been neglected due to the low economic value of the agricultural land. However, soil stability is a key parameter which affects ecosystem services like slope stability, water budgets (drinking water ...

CALIBRATION OF DISTRIBUTED SHALLOW LANDSLIDE MODELS IN FORESTED LANDSCAPES

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2010
<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 ...

Estimating Mediterranean Cyclone Activity via Explainable Machine Learning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Intense cyclones in the Mediterranean drive most of the region's rainfall and wind‐wave extremes, exerting a significant socio‐economic impact. Currently there are no established analytical tools for estimating Mediterranean cyclone activity from climatological fields.

Physically based model for assessing rainfall-induced deep-seated landslides using a hydrological-geotechnical model

Annals of GIS
In mountainous areas, understanding the sizes and types of rainfall-induced landslides, and identifying areas at high risk, are critical challenges for disaster management. Shallow and deep-seated landslides are the two major types in mountainous regions,
