Abstract Soil erodibility data, calculated using measured soil loss from standard runoff plots, collected over at least one year and applying the requirements for calculating factor ( K ) of Universal Loss Equation (USLE), have been analysed to investigate whether climate affects susceptibility soils water erosion. In total, more than 300 ‐values extracted literature analysed. Due limited availability data related characteristics location measuring sites, all analysis has carried out only...
Abstract. The Volcán de Colima, one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico, is commonly affected by tropical rains related to hurricanes that form over Pacific Ocean. In 2011, 2013 and 2015 Jova, Manuel Patricia, respectively, triggered storms deposited up 400 mm rain 36 h, with maximum intensities 50 h −1. effects were devastating, formation multiple lahars along La Lumbre Montegrande ravines, which are channels sediment delivery on south-southwest flank volcano. Deep erosion river several...
This paper discusses the effects of water quality on hydrological and erosion response non-saline, non-sodic soils during simulated rain experiments. It is well known that affects behaviour saline soils. In particular, simulation experiments cannot be run using tap if realistic values infiltration rates soil are to found. reports similar for Two – a well-aggregated clay-rich developed marine silty clay deposits silt loam were selected subjected series rainstorms demineralized water. The...
Abstract Daily runoff from 27 plots (5 m × 2 m) recorded during two rainy seasons in the Tigray highlands (Ethiopia) were analysed together with daily rainfall to calculate curve numbers for hillslopes covered by semi‐natural vegetation varying stages of restoration. Curve number model parameters derived using a least squares fitting procedure on collected rainfall–runoff datasets. varied 29 97. Land use type was an important explanatory factor variation numbers, whereas hydrologic soil...
Background . Excessive energy intake has been implicated in diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and obesity. Dietary restraint unsuccessful as a method for the self-regulation of eating. Recognition initial hunger (IH) is easily learned, can be validated by associated blood glucose (BG) concentration, may improve insulin sensitivity. Objective To investigate whether meal pattern (IHMP) with improved sensitivity over 5-month period. Methods Subjects were trained to recognize...
Abstract El Chichón volcano, located in the southern part of Mexico, is one most active Mexican volcanoes. In 1982 it was scene largest Plinian eruption recorded Mexico during last century. The volcano a climatic region with extreme rainfalls that accumulate more than 3,500 mm precipitation per year and frequently affected by hurricanes. recent events were caused Hurricane Eta 2020 tropical storm Karl 2022, addition to an atypical rainfall event same accumulated 339.9 rain 24 hours. During...
In Italy, rainfall-induced slope failures occur every year, claiming lives and causing severe economic damage. We have designed implemented a landslide warning system, named SANF (an acronym for national early system landslides), to forecast the possible occurrence of landslides in Italy. The is based on: (i) rainfall thresholds occurrence, (ii) sub-hourly measurements obtained by network 1950 rain gauges, (iii) quantitative forecasts. Twice day, compares measured forecasted amounts against...
Abstract Bearing in mind the destructive potential of tsunamis induced by volcanic landslides, tsunamigenic event occurring at Stromboli volcano Italy on 30 December 2002 has been re-examined here, means visible images and slope stability analysis. This was one few examples world a flank collapse that directly observed. We present results analyses, together with sequence photos collected from helicopter minutes before collapse. The result this study is landslides triggering tsunami can be...
Abstract The gravitational instability of hot material deposited during eruptive activity can lead to the formation glowing avalanches, commonly known as deposit-derived pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). These travel hundreds metres several kilometres from source at exceptionally high temperatures, posing a catastrophic hazard areas surrounding steep-slope volcanoes. occurrence PDCs is often associated with crater rim failure, which be triggered by various factors such magma thrust dike...
