Deep critical zone controls on shallow landslides. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AThe deep critical zone (CZ) has long been recognized for its importance in influencing shallow landslides but was not considered feasible to include in slope stability models at the watershed scale. Here, we demonstrate that simple approximations of the CZ in a fully coupled hydrologic and soil slope stability model can effectively capture the location,

Mass-Movement Processes: Shallow Landslides [PDF]
, 2022 Landslides are deposits of rock, debris, and earth that have moved down a slope by gravity. The five major types of landslides based on mechanisms are falls, topples, slides, spreads, and flows. This article describes shallow slides, which are one of the most common types of landslides in all the world's climate zones and are characterized by a reduced

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.

The role of the vineyards on shallow landslides
, 2016 Shallow landslides are frequent in steep wine-producing terrains, causing significant economical damage to cultivations and the loss of high productivity soils. In this work, the role of cultivated vineyards and abandoned vineyards to shallow landslides is investigated in north-eastern Oltrepò Pavese.

Detection and forecasting of shallow landslides: lessons from a natural laboratory [PDF]
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2022 Rapid shallow landslides are a significant hillslope erosion mechanism and limited understanding of their initiation and development results in persistent risk to infrastructure.

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 ...

Distributed modelling of shallow landslides triggered by intense rainfall [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2003 Hazard assessment of shallow landslides represents an important aspect of land management in mountainous areas. Among all the methods proposed in the literature, physically based methods are the only ones that explicitly includes the dynamic factors ...

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.

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 ...

Characterisation of weathered clayey soils responsible for shallow landslides [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2006 Shallow earth translational slides and earth flows, affecting colluvial soils derived by the weathering of the clayey bedrock, are a recurrent problem causing damage to buildings and roads in many areas of Apennines.
