Effects of rainfall patterns on occurrence of shallow landslides: a case study in Futian town of Chongqing city

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
With the intensification of climate change and increasingly frequent rainstorms, rainfall-induced shallow landslides have become a widespread geohazard.

Warning Model for Shallow Landslides Induced by Extreme Rainfall [PDF]

Water, 2015
In this study, the geophysical properties of the landslide-prone catchment of the Gaoping River in Taiwan were investigated using zones based on landslide history in conjunction with landslide analysis using a deterministic approach based on the TRIGRS (Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope-Stability) model.

Hurricane‐induced risk contagion in commercial real estate: Evidence from Hurricane Sandy

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines how hurricane‐induced destruction affects the prices of nearby undamaged commercial real estate properties, using Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment. Using Real Capital Analytics transaction records spatially merged with Federal Emergency Management Agency building‐level damage data, we empirically employ a difference ...

Soil and water bioengineering: practice and research needs for reconciling natural hazard control and ecological restoration [PDF]

, 2018
Soil and water bioengineering is a technology that encourages scientists and practitioners to combine their knowledge and skills in the management of ecosystems with a common goal to maximize benefits to both man and the natural environment.

Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

The middle Waikato Basin and hills [PDF]

, 1992
The middle Waikato (or Hamilton) Basin is a roughly oval-shaped depression more than 80 km north to south and more than 40 km wide. The basin, except in the south, is almost completely surrounded by ranges up to 300 m high, broken by only a few gaps.

Simulating infiltration processes into fractured and swelling soils as triggering factors of landslides [PDF]

, 2013
The influence of rainfall in triggering landslides is a widely discussed topic in scientific literature. The slope stability of fractured surface soils is often influenced by the soil suction.

Map and Archival Evidence of the Historical Avulsion of the Brahmaputra River

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract One of the world's great rivers, the Brahmaputra, avulsed—changed course—significantly sometime between the dates of 1765 and 1830. These are the dates of surveys by James Rennell (grey) and Richard Wilcox (black), both under the direction of the East India Company; no other surveys between these dates can refine the estimate of the ...

A refinement analysis of the shallow landslides susceptibility at regional scale supported by GIS-aided geo-database

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2021
Intense rainfall events often produce a great number of shallow landslides events, which in many cases can hits large areas or an entire regional territory.
