Submesoscale Turbulence over a Topographic Slope [PDF]
Fluids, 2018 Regions of the ocean near continental slopes are linked to significant vertical velocities caused by advection over a sloping bottom, frictional processes and diffusion.

Seepage and slope stability modelling of rainfall-induced slope failures in topographic hollows
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016 This study focuses on topographic hollows, their flow direction and flow accumulation characteristics, and highlights discharge of hillslope seepage so as to understand porewater pressure development phenomena in relation with slope failure in ...

STUDY ON SITE CONDITIONS BASED ON TOPOGRAPHIC SLOPE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 The travel-time averaged shear-wave velocity to a depth of 30m (Vs30) below the Earth’s surface is widely used to classify sites in many building codes. Vs30 is also used to estimate site classification in recent ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs)

On the role of topographic amplification in seismic slope instabilities
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2015 AbstractSurface wave generation due to body wave propagation near ground surface has been discussed in the literature. This phenomenon, typically occurring in topographic changing areas, along with its interaction with body waves (SV), decreases precision of formulas for evaluation of slope displacement. This significant fact caused the researchers not

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.

Testing the Applicability of Correlations between Topographic Slope and VS30 for Europe [PDF]
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2012 In the past few years a series of articles have been published concerning the use of topographic slope from digital elevation models (DEMs) constructed through remote sensing (satellite imaging) to give first-order estimates of National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) site classes based on the average shear-wave velocity in the top 30 m ...
