<p>Landslide forecasting and early warning has a long tradition in landslide research and is primarily carried out based on empirical and statistical approaches, e.g., landslide triggering rainfall thresholds. In the last decade, flood forecasting started ...

This book has two main aims: to demonstrate to international development agencies, governments, policy makers, project managers, practitioners, and community residents that landslide hazard can often be reduced in vulnerable urban communities in the developing ...

The main purpose of the study was to prepare landslide susceptibility maps of the five sample sites of Western Nepal (Palpa/Gulmi, Palpa, Baglung/Myagdi, Parbat and Kaski) and validate the result by model replication. A number of qualitative and quantitative ...

This report presents an emergency assessment of potential debris-flow hazards from basins burned by the 2011 Motor fire in the Sierra and Stanislaus National Forests,Calif. Statistical-empirical models are used to estimate the probability and volume of debrisflowsthat ...

In this report, we present a generic plan for monitoring of a hypothetical Carpathian landslide that illustrates how our suggestions for each of the specific landslides could be implemented. The plan includes basic pore pressure, displacement, and weather ...

Shaking from the January 12, 2010, Haiti earthquake (M 7.0) caused devastating structural damage and triggered many landslides that blocked roads, dammed rivers and streams, and threatened infrastructure in many parts of Haiti. The earthquake had a complex ...

Water-related disasters most perceived by the public are those caused by large-scale riverine floods. There is evidence, however, that the most deadly events, which are driven by extreme precipitation, are those that are difficult to predict, such as debris ...

<p>Risk analysis tools were implemented during closing activities on radioactive mill tailings disposal Bor&scaron;t, affected by a landslide. The probability of landsliding before and after remediation works was calculated and expressed through relaiability ...

This paper reports on an application of the GB-InSAR (Ground-Based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technique to monitor a landslide threatening an infrastructure, the A3 motorway in the Calabria Region (Southern Italy), in emergency conditions.

This report summarizes the preliminary findings of field investigation studies performed after Van-Tabanlı Earthquake (Mw=7.1). The intention of the reconnaissance studies was to retrieve perishable field data. The most attention was given to the compilation ...
