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 …

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 …

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 …

An Evaluation of DEM Generation Methods Using a Pixel-Based Landslide Detection Algorithm
The creation of landslide inventories is an important step in landslide susceptibility mapping, and automated algorithms for landslide detection will increasingly be relied upon as part of the mapping process. This study compares the effects of three different DTM generation methods on a …

Effect of Earthquake and Human Migration on Land Cover and Mass Wasting from The 2010 Haiti Earthquake
… between population displacement and landslide frequency by comparing land use and land cover (LULC) maps of pre- and post-earthquake. To assess the impact of anthropogenic activities, we employed a maximum likelihood method to produce LULC maps from Landsat images for the dry seasons …

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 …

Modeling landslide occurrence and impacts in a changing climate
… have an impact on the occurrence and severity of landslides. A landslide inventory database from Switzerland is used to perform two types of analysis. The first presents a proof of concept for an analogue method of detecting the frequency in landslide activity with future climate change …

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 …

Controls on the distribution of landslides triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan Province, China
… conditions for slope failure, the majority of landslides are induced by earthquakes, rainstorms or a combination of these two. Landslides are also one of the most destructive geological processes, being the primary cause of damage and fatalities associated with severe storms and earthquakes in …

Deep Learning Architectures for Improving Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Precipitation Estimates and Landslide Susceptibility Mapping: A Case Study of Puerto Rico
… those associated with rainfall-induced landslides. For the latter, obtaining precise precipitation estimates is essential, as intense rainfall events can trigger landslides that pose significant risks to human life, infrastructure, and ecosystems, particularly in mountainous regions. …

Cross-border risk assessment of earthquake-induced landslides in Central Asia
… 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 precipitation locally and in quantifying the level of ground shaking, call …

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 …
