There is no doubt that land cover and climate changes have consequences on landslide activity, but it still an open issue to assess quantify their impacts. Wanzhou County in southwest China was selected as the test area study rainfall-induced shallow susceptibility under future of use (LULC) climate. We used a high-resolution meteorological precipitation dataset frequency distribution model analyse present extreme antecedent rainfall conditions related activity. The change factors were...

Debris flow is a common process in the Swiss Alps and other mountainous parts of world. The understanding debris-flow behaviour essential to assess hazards they present. An important approach towards improving knowledge processes gathering real-time data by observation stations. Observation stations were established three debris prone watersheds equipped with video cameras, ultrasonic devices, radar device, geophones, rain gauges. In 2000, four significant flows observed. provided useful...

The inherent uncertainty in hydro-geotechnical parameters presents a significant challenge for accurately predicting rainfall-triggered shallow landslides mountainous regions. In this study, novel probabilistic framework was developed and implemented the "Py.GIS-FSLAM-FORM" software, designed to address complexities associated with parameter uncertainty, correlation, distribution. By combining Fast Shallow Landslide Assessment Model (FSLAM) First-Order Reliability Method (FORM), we have...

Abstract A rapidly growing population across mountain regions is pressuring expansion onto steeper slopes, leading to increased exposure of people and their assets slow‐moving landslides. These moving hillslopes can inflict damage buildings infrastructure, accelerate with urban alterations, catastrophically fail climatic weather extremes. Yet, systematic estimates landslide drivers have been elusive. Here, we present a new global database 7,764 large (A ≥ 0.1 km 2 ) landslides nine IPCC...

Abstract. The objective of this work is to propose a standard classification seismic signals generated by gravitational processes and detected at close distances (&lt;1 km). We review the studies where instruments have been installed on unstable slopes discuss choice network geometries. Seismic observations acquired 13 are analyzed in order construct proposed typology. selected affected various landslide types (slide, fall, topple flow) triggered material (from unconsolidated soils...
