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 …

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 …

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 …

Development of a landslide hazard map for the island of Puerto Rico
This thesis describes the development of a landslide hazard map for the island of Puerto Rico through the use of Graphical Information System (GIS) tools. Parameters considered in this study are elevation, slope aspect, slope angle and land use. This study employed data for a total of 2,966 …

Delineation of Landslide Hazard and Development of Mitigation Tools in a Vulnerable City
Landslides are widespread geomorphological features on the North Island of New Zealand, where they represent one of the primary landscape-forming processes. Indeed, the East Coast region has some of the highest erosion rates in the world, due to its proximity to an active plate boundary, …

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 …

Landscape, Livelihoods and Risk: Community Vulnerability to Landslides in Nepal
The occurrence of fatal landslides in Nepal is increasing with time, faster than the effects of monsoonal variations. Possible explanations for the trends observed include: land-use change, population growth, and the development of transport infrastructure. However, to date, there is little …

Cross-border risk assessment of earthquake-induced landslides in Central Asia
… places in the world where various natural hazards can heavily injury populations and resources. Among these hazards, landslides pose a serious threat to human life and human facilities. The large variability of local geological materials, together with the difficulties in forecasting heavy …

Probabilistic Modeling of Shallow Landslides at Regional Scales
… hillslope stability that may lead to increased landslides, which adds sediment to streams, elevates flooding, and impacts downstream natural and built resources. This dissertation aimed to improve mapping landslide hazard by integrating process-based and data-driven statistical models. To …

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 …

Identifying Key Factors Affecting Translational Landslides in Part of the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt, Washington State
… nation, and unfortunately also is among the most landslide-prone states. With increased population density and urban sprawl, the need for landslide hazard assessment grows. On the Columbia Plateau in central Washington, the smooth rigid, inclined surfaces of the Columbia River Basalts (CRBs) with …

The economics of landslide mitigation strategies: public versus private decisions
… for public intervention in decisions regarding landslide hazard mitigation was examined through a cost-benefit analysis. A study area in Cincinnati, Ohio was used to test whether a public agency decision rule is suboptimal to a private decision rule in maximizing net benefits from landslide …

FIVE YEARS AFTER THE OCTOBER 8, 2005 KASHMIR EARTHQUAKE: ASSESSING POST-SEISMIC LANDSLIDING PROCESSES BETWEEN 2005 AND 2010
… 2005 Kashmir earthquake triggered thousands of landslides at different scales through the Hazara-Kashmir region of Northern Pakistan. Within a few months after the earthquake a landslide inventory, including detailed photographs, was prepared, which included studies of slope failures at 164 …

A regional study of landslide hazards and related features in the Upper Indus River Basin, northern Pakistan
"A spatial landslide inventory is a fundamental step preparatory to developing an understanding of regional landslide hazards. The techniques honed for this regional landslide mapping study began with compiling a stitched shaded topographic map of the Upper Indus River watershed; using …

Application of remote sensing techniques to determine the kinematics of the Bull Lake Creek landslide, Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
Landslides are one of many natural hazards that impact human settlements. On average, each year landslides account for billions of dollars of property damage and claim thousands of lives around the world. Landslides are prevalent throughout the United States, and require constant monitoring and …
