A Landslide Near Oslo, Minnesota
<p>A landslide occurred on the bank of the Red River two and a half miles north of Oslo, Minnesota on the Minnesota side. The area involved in the slide compromises about 45,000 square feet. A mass-movement occurred which was vertical but largely horizontal. A block roughly 45 by 100 feet dropped …

Landslide hazards assessment and uncertainties
Landslides are natural phenomena which are difficult to predict because their initiation depends on many factors and on the interaction between these factors. The annual number of causalities caused by landslides is in the thousands, and infrastructural damage is in the billions of dollars. To …

Rainfall-induced Landslide Hazard Rating System
This research develops a Landslide Hazard Rating System for the rainfall-induced landslides in the Chenyulan River basin area in central Taiwan. This system is designed to provide a simplified and quick evaluation of the possibility of landslide occurrence, which can be used for planning and risk …

Mapping and analysis of the Rio Chama landslide and evaluation of regional landslide susceptibility, Archuleta County, Colorado
Recent landslides, such as the West Salt Creek landslide in Colorado and the Oso landslide in Washington, have brought to light the need for more extensive landslide evaluations in order to prevent disasters in the U.S.. The goal of this research is to characterize and map the Rio Chama landslide, …

Detection of a Landslide Glide Plane Using Seismic Reflection Methods: Investigation at Little Valley Landslide in Draper, Utah
… the internal structure of the Little Valley Landslide in Draper, Utah, USA. The Little Valley Landslide is a pre-historic landslide as old as 13ka B.P. It is found to consist of chaotic and disturbed weathered volcanic units derived from Tertiary age volcanics that comprise a great portion of …

Guidance Index for Shallow Landslide Hazard Analysis
<p>Rainfall-induced landslides are one of the most frequent hazards on slanted terrains. They lead to considerable economic losses and fatalities worldwide. Intense storms with high-intensity and long-duration rainfall have high potential to trigger rapidly moving soil masses due to changes in pore …

Submarine landslide flows simulation through centrifuge modelling
Landslides occur both onshore and offshore. However, little attention has been given to offshore landslides (submarine landslides). Submarine landslides have significant impacts and consequences on offshore and coastal facilities. The unique characteristics of submarine landslides include large …

Evaluation of rainfall-induced landslide transit characterization
As landslide hazard has intensified in the past decades, the development of landslide hazard evaluation systems has become more and more important. However, not much attention is paid to discussing the landslide transition in new and reoccurring landslides between different triggering events. A …

Landslide Susceptibility Prediction Adaptive to Triggering Events
Landslide detection and susceptibility prediction are valuable tools for disaster prevention. Despite there being many various solutions to accomplish these tasks, they all generally depend on topographic features of the environment. However, there are not many solutions that can adapt to …

Interpretable Machine Learning Methods for Landslide Analysis
Landslides have the power to alter terrain, reshape ecosystems, damage anthropogenic structures, and destroy entire communities. On March 31, 2017, Mocoa fell victim to a devastating landslide that claimed 254 lives and left hundreds more missing. Given the region’s high frequency of landslides, …

Real-time monitoring of a multiple retrogressive landslide
… (VWPs) installed in a multiple retrogressive landslide are evaluated and re-interpreted. The goal of this research was to evaluate the IPIs in particular, as part of a real-time slope stability monitoring system. The real-time monitoring system was installed by the Saskatchewan Ministry of …

UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION OF LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPPING USING BAYESIAN NETWORK
Landslides account for an average of 25 fatalities and monetary costs exceeding $2 billion USD annually, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) can provide valuable insights for landslide characterization and helps optimize risk mitigation strategies. …

Landslide generated tsunamis : numerical modeling and real-time prediction
Submarine landslides can generate local tsunamis posing a hazard to human lives and coastal facilities. Two major related problems are: (i) quantitative estimation of tsunami hazard and (ii) early detection of the most dangerous landslides. This thesis focuses on both those issues by providing …

LANDSLIDE INVESTIGATION IN THE RÍO AGUAS CATCHMENT, SOUTHEAST SPAIN
… rural communities Uve under the threat of major landslide activity. These remote areas are also increasingly the focus of development programmes which, without careful consideration of the ground conditions, will be at risk. The cost of mitigating against landslide activity can also be extremely …

Landslide Hazard Assessment for Fayzabad District, Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan
… District is one of those most impacted by landslide hazards in Afghanistan, accounting for 71% of all national landslide fatalities reported between 2012 and 2017. Necessary elevation data did not cover the very south of Fayzabad District; consequently, this study focuses on the northern …
