Geosciences, 2020 Shallow landslides are an increasing concern in Italy and worldwide because of the frequent association with vegetation management. As vegetation cover plays a fundamental role in slope stability, we developed a GIS-based model to evaluate the influence ...

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.

Large Submarine Landslides on Continental Slopes: Geohazards, Methane Release, and Climate Change [PDF]
, 2014 Submarine landslides on open continental slopes can be prodigious in scale. They are an important process for global sediment fluxes, and can generate very damaging tsunamis.

Impacts of anthropogenic and environmental factors on the occurrence of shallow landslides in an alpine catchment (Urseren Valley, Switzerland) [PDF]
, 2008 Changes in climate and land use pose a risk to stability of alpine soils, but the direction and magnitude of the impact is still discussed controversially with respect to the various alpine regions.

Landslides detection and volume estimation in Jinbu area of Korea
Forest Science and Technology, 2018 Shallow landslides triggered by heavy rainfall are common phenomena in mountainous areas of temperate monsoon regions. On July 2006 intensive shallow landslides occurred in Jinbu area, Korea triggered by heavy rainfall.

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 ...

Ongoing Landslide Deformation in Thawing Permafrost
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Thawing permafrost influences landslide initiation, but observation of landslide development in thawing permafrost is limited. To evaluate the impact of landslide age, morphology, and permafrost conditions, we quantified topographic deformation of three ...

What does landslide triggering rainfall mean? [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Landslide-triggering rainfall thresholds are often subject to both false negatives (landslides where none are expected) and false positives (no landslides despite thresholds being exceeded).

Application of a 3D deterministic model for predicting shallow loess landslide stability
工程科学学报, 2018 In the loess plateau, shallow loess landslides are especially widespread and frequent geological disasters, causing serious casualties as well as huge property damage.
