Extreme precipitation on dry ground in western Norway – characteristics of induced landslides call for adaptation of the Norwegian practice in landuse planning [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Following a particularly dry summer, a torrential rain event struck Western Norway on Tuesday 30 July 2019. The resulting floods and shallow landslides caused one fatality and severe damages to public and private infrastructure in the former Jølster ...

Shallow-landslide stability evaluation in loess areas according to the Revised Infinite Slope Model: a case study of the 7.25 Tianshui sliding-flow landslide events of 2013 in the southwest of the Loess Plateau, China [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesThe occurrence of shallow loess landslides induced by prolonged heavy rainfall is prevalent in loess-dominated regions, often leading to property damage, human casualties, and sediment pollution.

Hazard Maps of Shallow Landslides Associated to Infiltration Processes in the Sapuyes River Basin
Ingeniería e Investigación, 2021 Hazard mapping of shallow landslides associated with infiltration processes at a regional scale was carried out by means of the spatial and temporal distribution of safety factor and its classification, within hazard level ranges, into cells that ...

Biotic controls on shallow translational landslides [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2012 ABSTRACTIn undisturbed tropical montane rainforests massive organic layers accommodate the majority of roots and only a small fraction of roots penetrate the mineral soil. We investigated the contribution of vegetation to slope stability in such environments by modifying a standard model for slope stability to include an organic layer with distinct ...

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

Shallow landslide's stochastic risk modelling based on the precipitation event of August 2005 in Switzerland: results and implications [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Due to their relatively unpredictable characteristics, shallow landslides represent a risk for human infrastructures. Multiple shallow landslides can be triggered by widespread intense precipitation events.
