Rainfall-induced shallow landslides caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie, 31st March 2017

open access: yes, 2018
Every year, Australia experiences tropical cyclones that bring large amounts of rainfall, causing flooding and damage to infrastructure and road closure due to landslips.

Post-earthquake monitoring of landslides along the Southern Kaikōura Transport Corridor, New Zealand

open access: yes, 2021
The magnitude (Mw) 7.8 earthquake that struck North Canterbury on New Zealand’s South Island on the evening of 14 November 2016 caused widespread damage to infrastructure, in particular to road and rail within the South Kaikōura Transport Corridor (SKTC).

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

open access: yesGeomatics, 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.

Combining Spatial Models for Shallow Landslides and Debris-Flows Prediction [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2013
Mass movements in Brazil are common phenomena, especially during strong rainfall events that occur frequently in the summer season. These phenomena cause losses of lives and serious damage to roads, bridges, and properties. Moreover, the illegal occupation by slums on the slopes around the cities intensifies the effect of the mass movement.

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.

The Impact of Hydrological Parameters on Modelling Slope Safety Factor Towards Shallow Landslides: A Case Study from Oltrepò Pavese

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Hydrological monitoring of slope susceptible to shallow landslides allows for identifying the triggering conditions of shallow failures and implementing slope stability analysis at site-specific scale.

Shape of Water: Power Dynamics for Supply Chain Resilience

open access: yesJournal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world is facing climate change‐driven disruptions such as extreme weather events, which affect nature as well as firms and their supply chains. Nonetheless, little is known about how supply chain players shape their socioecological resilience, including from a power perspective.

The dynamics of reactivated landslides: Utiku and Taihape, North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The primary aim of this research was to study the relationship between landslide motion and its causes, with reference to large, slow moving, reactivated translational rock slides.
