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).

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 ...

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.

New Insights into the Emplacement Dynamics of Volcanic Island Landslides [PDF]

, 2014
Volcanic islands form the highest topographic structures on Earth and are the sites of some of the planet's largest landslides. These landslides can rapidly mobilize hundreds of cubic kilometers of rock and sediment, and potentially generate destructive ...

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.

Landslide Failure Mechanisms of Dispersive Soil Slopes in Seasonally Frozen Regions

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Hydraulic projects with dispersive soil in seasonally frozen regions are susceptible to landslide failures. The mechanism of such landslide failures has not been fully understood thus far; therefore, it was investigated in this study by using on-site ...

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.

A study of the stability evaluation method of rainfall-induced shallow loess landslides based on the Maxent-Sinmap slope model

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2023
To address the problem of low evaluation accuracy of the Sinmap model in evaluating the stability of shallow loess landslides under the action of rainfall, a method based on the Maxent-Sinmap model is constructed to evaluate the stability of regional ...
