Photogrammetric Monitoring of an Artificially Generated Shallow Landslide [PDF]

The Photogrammetric Record, 2013
AbstractAn artificial rainfall event was applied to a forested slope in Ruedlingen, northern Switzerland. The experiment triggered a landslide which resulted in mobilising about 130 m3 of debris. The event was monitored by a photogrammetric network of four cameras, operating at 5 to 8 frames per second, in order to quantify spatial and temporal changes

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.

Landsliding and its multiscale influence on mountainscapes [PDF]

, 2009
Landsliding is a complex process that modifies mountainscapes worldwide. Its severe and sometimes long-lasting negative effects contrast with the less-documented positive effects on ecosystems, raising numerous questions about the dual role of ...

Tsunami generation by paddle motion and its interaction with a beach: Lagrangian modelling and experiment [PDF]

, 2013
A 2D Lagrangian numerical wave model is presented and validated against a set of physical wave-flume experiments on interaction of tsunami waves with a sloping beach. An iterative methodology is proposed and applied for experimental generation of tsunami-

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.

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 ...

Site investigation for the effects of vegetation on ground stability [PDF]

, 2006
The procedure for geotechnical site investigation is well established but little attention is currently given to investigating the potential of vegetation to assist with ground stability.

Run-out of landslides in brittle soils [PDF]

, 2016
One of the factors causing the acceleration of landslides is the loss of strength of the soil involved in the potential unstable mechanism. The travelled distance and the landslide velocity, a key factor in risk analysis, will be determined by the loss ...

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...
