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 …

Seismic hazard analysis and seismic slope stability evaluation using discrete faults in northwestern Pakistan
… and injuries, and also triggered numerous landslides. Although there are no reliable means to predict the timing of the earthquake, it is possible to reduce the loss of life and damages associated with strong ground motions and landslides by designing and mitigating structures based on …

The influence of the Critical Zone on hillslope hydrology and stability
… framework to forecast the onset of shallow landslides. The framework combines i) a transient hydrological model with ii) a finite element solver for slope stability in order to iii) compute local field factors of safety (LFS) under dynamic rainfall conditions. The framework's ability …

The role of life history traits for coexistence and forest recovery after disturbance – a modelling perspective. Towards a better understanding of species-rich forests
… cover is frequently interrupted by scars of landslides, which constitute an important type of natural disturbance in this ecosystem. We utilize ecological models as tools to gain deeper insights into key processes driving the maintenance of tree species richness and affecting forest recovery …

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 …
