Detection and forecasting of shallow landslides: lessons from a natural laboratory

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.

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.

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 ...

Regional test of a model for shallow landsliding [PDF]

Hydrological Processes, 1998
Landslides mapped in 14 watershed analyses in Oregon and Washington provide a regional test of a model for shallow landsliding. A total of 3224 landslides were mapped in watersheds covering 2993 km2 and underlain by a variety of lithologies, including Tertiary sedimentary rocks of the Coast Ranges, volcanic rocks of the Cascade Range and Quaternary ...

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).

Semi-automatic mapping of shallow landslides using free Sentinel-2 images and Google Earth Engine [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
The global availability of Sentinel-2 data and the widespread coverage of cost-free and high-resolution images nowadays give opportunities to map, at a low cost, shallow landslides triggered by extreme events (e.g. rainfall, earthquakes).

Shallow Landslides and Rockfalls Velocity Assessment at Regional Scale: A Methodology Based on a Morphometric Approach

Geosciences, 2022
Velocity is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the damaging potential of a mass movement, but its assessment, especially for extremely rapid landslides, is a complex task.

Effects of soil heterogeneity on susceptibility of shallow landslides [PDF]

Landslides, 2021
AbstractUncertainties in parameters of landslide susceptibility models often hinder them from providing accurate spatial and temporal predictions of landslide occurrences. Substantial contribution to the uncertainties in landslide assessment originates from spatially variable geotechnical and hydrological parameters.

Insight into the Characteristics and Triggers of Loess Landslides during the 2013 Heavy Rainfall Event in the Tianshui Area, China

Remote Sensing, 2023
The 2013 heavy rainfall event (from June to July) in the Tianshui area triggered the most serious rainfall-induced group-occurring landslides since 1984, causing extensive casualties and economic losses.

Intelligent identification and susceptibility analysis of rainfall-induced shallow landslides in mountainous areas based on high-resolution remote sensing and deep learning

Frontiers in Earth Science
In recent years, extreme rainfall events have become more frequent, leading to a significant increase in shallow landslide disasters, which trigger debris flows and increase the risk of subsequent chain disasters.
