The rise and fall of a volcanic plateau: Landscape evolution at the fringes of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet, Meseta Chile Chico, central Patagonian Andes

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Earth‐surface processes along the fringes of large ice sheets is integral to deciphering cold‐region environmental variability and anticipating slope instability under climate change. We investigate the Meseta Chile Chico, a volcanic plateau in the central Patagonian Andes, located at the eastern margin of the former Patagonian ...

Hillslope memory and spatial and temporal distributions of earthquake-induced landslides [PDF]

, 2013
Large earthquakes commonly trigger widespread and destructive landsliding. However, current approaches to modeling regional-scale landslide activity do not account for the temporal evolution of progressive failure in brittle hillslope materials ...

On the influence of temporal change on the validity of landslide susceptibility maps [PDF]

, 2009
The consideration of non-stationary landslide causal factors in statistical landslide susceptibility assessments is still problematic. The latter may lead to erroneous model predictions, especially in times of dramatic environmental change.

Application of a physically based model to forecast shallow landslides at a regional scale [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
In this work, we apply a physically based model, namely the HIRESSS (HIgh REsolution Slope Stability Simulator) model, to forecast the occurrence of shallow landslides at the regional scale.

Modeling Shallow Landslide Susceptibility and Assessment of the Relative Importance of Predisposing Factors, through a GIS-Based Statistical Analysis

Geosciences, 2021
Shallow landslides are destructive hazards and play an important role in landscape processes. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the shallow landslide susceptibility and to investigate which predisposing factors control the spatial distribution of ...

First report on the soil seed bank damage due to fire at the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The composition, density, and damage of the soil seed bank were studied at Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp (the world's largest refugee settlement), Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, after a major human‐induced fire on March 22, 2021, causing huge damage to human lives, settlements, and the ecosystem.

Rearrangement Towards Stability: Plastic Shakedown in Granular Materials Under Thermal Cycles

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Granular materials are routinely subjected to thermal cycling due to natural and anthropogenic phenomena. Despite the ubiquity of this occurrence and its relevance for science, engineering, and technology, the long‐term thermo‐mechanical response of granular materials to repeated heating and cooling remains poorly understood.

Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...

Multiscale controls on diurnal convection in the Maritime Continent: Insights from high‐resolution observations in Timika

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Across the Maritime Continent, diurnal rainfall variability is governed by interactions between regional‐scale atmospheric drivers and local land–sea breeze circulations. Afternoon convection is initiated over land by surface heating and propagates offshore, whereas morning rainfall develops over adjacent seas and moves inland under low‐level northerly
