The slope aspect: A predisposing factor for landsliding?
Comptes Rendus - Geoscience, 2013 The influence of slope aspect on the distribution of landslides was studied in the Milia and Roglio basins in Tuscany, Italy. For each basin, the new Tuscany region landslide inventory that was initiated in 2010 was used. The landslides were split into separate datasets based on their prevailing movement typology.

Probabilistic description of topographic slope and aspect [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2009 Local topographic features such as slope and aspect play a crucial role in a number of morphological, ecological, and hydrological processes. We propose a simple yet realistic probabilistic description of local slope and aspect as a function of properties of the field of elevation changes.
