Characteristics of Intense Multi‐Day Wet Spells Over West Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study reveals a significant increase in intense wet spells, particularly in KASS‐D, emphasising the value of dense rain‐gauge networks. Larger‐sized events have grown, while smaller ones declined, boosting 3‐day and 5‐day wet spells' contribution to annual rainfall, with the Guinea Coast showing the highest increase and the Sahel the lowest ...

Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Giant Submarine Landslide in the South China Sea: Evidence, Causes, and Implications

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Submarine landslides can be tremendous in scale. They are one of the most important processes for global sediment fluxes and tsunami generation. However, studies of prodigious submarine landslides remain insufficient.

Glass in the submarine section of the HSDP2 drill core, Hilo, Hawaii [PDF]

, 2004
The Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project recovered ~3 km of basalt by coring into the flank of Mauna Kea volcano at Hilo, Hawaii. Rocks recovered from deeper than ~1 km were deposited below sea level and contain considerable fresh glass. We report electron

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Revealing Submarine Landslide Signatures in South Western Palu Bay: Insights from New Shallow Bathymetric Data [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The 2018 Palu earthquake and tsunami was a rare event where tsunami generation was partly driven by coastal and submarine landslides triggered by a supershear Mw 7.5 strike-slip earthquake. While much attention has focused on the seismic source, the role

Which Triggers Produce the Most Erosive, Frequent, and Longest Runout Turbidity Currents on Deltas? [PDF]

, 2017
Subaerial rivers and turbidity currents are the two most voluminous sediment transport processes on our planet, and it is important to understand how they are linked offshore from river mouths.

Configurational Energy as a Microstructural Descriptor of Failure Precursors in 2D Frictional Granular Materials

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Localized deformation in dense granular materials, often culminating in the formation of shear bands, is a key failure mechanism in geotechnical and material systems. However, predicting the onset of such localization remains a fundamental challenge due to the system's inherent inelasticity and microstructural complexity.

Submarine landslides on the upper southeast Australian passive continental margin – preliminary findings [PDF]

, 2012
The southeast Australian passive continental margin is narrow, steep and sediment-deficient, and characterized by relatively low rates of modern sedimentation. Upper slope (\u3c1200m) sediments comprise mixtures of calcareous and terrigenous sand and mud.

Slope Instability along the northeastern Iberian and Balearic continental margins [PDF]

, 2007
This paper gathers the available information on submarine landslides identified in the northeastern Iberian continental margin and presents new data on both already known landslides and new, previously unknown ones.
