Abstract. In Italy, rainfall is the primary trigger of landslides that frequently cause fatalities and large economic damage. Using a variety information sources, we have compiled catalogue listing 753 events resulted in Italy. For each event catalogue, exact or approximate location landslide time period initiation slope failure known, together with on duration D, mean intensity I, failure. The represents single largest collection rainfall-induced was exploited to determine minimum...
The design, implementation, management, and verification of landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) are gaining increasing attention in the literature among government officials, decision makers, public. Based on a critical analysis nine main assumptions that form rationale for forecasting warning, we examine 26 regional, national, global LEWSs worldwide from 1977 to August 2019. We find currently only five nations, 13 regions, four metropolitan areas benefit LEWSs, while many with numerous...
The large physiographic variability and the abundance of landslide rainfall data make Italy an ideal site to investigate variations in conditions that can result rainfall-induced landslides. We used information obtained from multiple sources captured by 2228 rain gauges build a catalogue 2309 events with – mostly shallow landslides between January 1996 February 2014. For each event landslides, we reconstructed history presumably caused slope failure, determined corresponding duration D (in...
The relation between climate change and its potential effects on the stability of slopes remains an open issue. For rainfall induced landslides, point consists in determining projected changes duration amounts that can initiate slope failures. We investigated relationship fine-scale projections obtained by downscaling expected modifications landslide occurrence Central Italy. used measurements taken 56 rain gauges 9-year period 2003-2011, RainFARM technique to generate downscaled synthetic...
Abstract. We examine 19 datasets with measurements of landslide volume, VL, for sub-aerial, submarine, and extraterrestrial mass movements. Individual include from 17 to 1019 landslides different types, including rock fall, slide, avalanche, soil debris flow, individual volumes ranging over 10−4 m3≤VL≤1013 m3. determine the probability density volumes, p(VL), using kernel estimation. Each dataset exhibits heavy tailed (self-similar) behaviour their frequency-size distributions, p(VL) as a...
Empirical rainfall thresholds are commonly used to forecast landslide occurrence in wide areas. Thresholds affected by several uncertainties related the and information accuracy, reconstruction of responsible for failure, method calculate thresholds. This limits use early warning systems. To face problem, we developed a comprehensive tool, CTRL–T (Calculation Rainfall-induced Landslides−Tool) that automatically objectively reconstructs events triggering conditions calculates at different...
Satellite rainfall products have been available for many years (since '90) with an increasing spatial/temporal resolution and accuracy. Their global scale coverage near real-time perfectly fit the need of early warning landslide system. Notwithstanding these characteristics, number studies employing satellite estimates predicting events is quite limited. In this study, we propose a procedure that allows us to evaluate capability different forecast spatial-temporal occurrence rainfall-induced...
Abstract. In many areas, rainfall is the primary trigger of landslides. Determining conditions responsible for landslide occurrence important, and may contribute to saving lives properties. a long-term national project definition thresholds possible in Italy, we compiled catalogue 186 events that resulted 251 shallow landslides Calabria, southern from January 1996 September 2011. Landslides were located geographically using Google Earth®, given mapping temporal accuracy. We used information,...
Abstract In many areas of the world, prediction rainfall-induced landslides is usually carried out by means empirical rainfall thresholds. Their definition complicated several issues, among which are evaluation and quantification diverse uncertainties resulting from data methods. Threshold effectiveness reliability strongly depend on quality quantity measurements landslide information used as input. this work, influence temporal resolution calculation landslide-triggering thresholds...
Abstract. The increasing availability of long-term observational data can lead to the development innovative modelling approaches determine landslide triggering conditions at a regional scale, opening new avenues for prediction and early warning. This research blends strengths existing with capabilities generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs) develop an interpretable approach that identifies seasonally dynamic precipitation shallow landslides. model builds upon 21-year record landslides in...
Systematic and timely documentation of triggered (i.e. event) landslides is fundamental to build extensive datasets worldwide that may help define and/or validate trends in response climate change. More general, preparation landslide inventories a crucial activity since it provides the basic data for any subsequent analysis. In this work we present an event inventory map (E-LIM) was prepared through systematic reconnaissance field survey about 1 month after extreme rainfall hit area 5000 km2...
Shallow landslide initiation typically results from an interplay of dynamic triggering and preparatory conditions along with static predisposition factors. While data-driven methods for assessing susceptibility or establishing rainfall-triggering thresholds are prevalent, integrating spatio-temporal information large-area prediction remains a challenge. The main aim this research is to generate spatial model that operates at daily scale explicitly counteracts potential errors in the...

Abstract. Italy is frequently hit and damaged by landslides, resulting in substantial widespread disruptions. In particular, slope failures have a high impact on the population, communication infrastructure, economic productive sectors. The hazard posed landslides requires adequate responses for landslide risk mitigation, with special attention to population. 2006 Italian Department of Civil Protection, an office Prime Minister, commissioned Research Institute Geo-Hydrological Protection...
Abstract Timely and systematic collection of landslide information after a triggering event is pivotal for the definition trends in response to climate change. On September 15, 2022, large part central Italy, particularly Marche Umbria regions, was struck by an anomalous rainfall that showed characteristics persistent convective system. An extraordinary cumulated 419 mm recorded rain gauge area only 9 h. The triggered 1687 landslides affected peak intensity caused widespread flash floods...
