Rainfall-intensity effect on landslide hazard assessment due to climate change in north-western Colombian Andes

open access: yesRevista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2020
Landslides triggered by rainfall are one of the most frequent causes of disasters in tropical countries and mountainous terrains. Recent studies show an upsurge in landslide occurrence as an expected impact of human-induced climate change.

Combining Spatial Models for Shallow Landslides and Debris-Flows Prediction

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.

MODELOS MATEMÁTICOS APLICADOS À PREVISÃO DE ESCORREGAMENTOS TRANSLACIONAIS RASOS: Exemplos em Áreas Naturais e de Risco

open access: yesClio Arqueológica, 2017
Um dos métodos utilizados para a previsão de áreas suscetíveis a escorregamentos translacionais rasos são os modelos matemáticos em bases físicas, que descrevem fisicamente os processos por meio de equações matemáticas.

Earthquake‐Induced Chains of Geologic Hazards: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Impacts

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 421-503, June 2019., 2019
Abstract Large earthquakes initiate chains of surface processes that last much longer than the brief moments of strong shaking. Most moderate‐ and large‐magnitude earthquakes trigger landslides, ranging from small failures in the soil cover to massive, devastating rock avalanches. Some landslides dam rivers and impound lakes, which can collapse days to

Regional Stability Analysis of Red Clay Slope Based on Different Failure Modes: A Case Study in Taizaifu Area, Fukuoka

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Red clay slopes have different failure modes in different geological and climatic contexts. Underlying weak layers are frequently witnessed in integral failures because of the reverse consolidation characteristics. On the contrary, heavy rainfall often causes superficial sliding for a considerable infiltration through developed microfractures. Based on

Investigation of natural hazard related to mass movements in the Boi River basin, southern Brazil, with SHALSTAB and Hyper KANAKO.

open access: yes, 2022
Abstract Extreme rainfall events have been more frequent, resulting in an increase in potentially catastrophic natural phenomena such as landslides and debris flows. To reduce disaster risk related, the hazard mapping for these phenomena is essential.

Influence of DEM spatial resolution on the susceptibility mapping with SHALSTAB in the Rio Garcia hydrographic basin, municipality of Blumenau/SC / Influência de la resolución espacial del MDE en la cartografía de susceptibilidad con SHALSTAB en la cuenca hidrográfica del Río García, municipio de Blumenau/SC

open access: yesBrazilian Applied Science Review, 2021
In translational landslide susceptibility analysis with SHALSTAB (Shallow Landsliding Stability Model), the resolution of the digital elevation model (DSM) is determinant for defining the type of mapping generated (preliminary or not). In this study, in order to verify the influence of the SDM scale on the SHALSTAB stability classes, susceptibility ...

Determination of Areas Susceptible to Landsliding Using Spatial Patterns of Rainfall from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Data, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Spatial patterns of shallow landslide initiation reflect both spatial patterns of heavy rainfall and areas susceptible to mass movements. We determine the areas most susceptible to shallow landslide occurrence through the calculation of critical soil ...
