Heavy rainfall on steep hillslopes may cause either shallow landslides or soil superficial erosion and different flow-type phenomena may originate in adjacent/overlapping source areas. Consequently, great amount of water ...

In recent years, the disasters caused by landslides tragically increased due to the demographic growth and the indiscriminate use of land. Among the different types of landslides, flow-like phenomena - often simultaneously ...

Shallow landslides in non-collapsible, fine-grained soils are natural phenomena which, due to their simultaneous occurrence over large areas, often cause agricultural production loss, with enormous economic damage. Although ...

Landslides - alone or in combination with other natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods etc. - Represent a major cause of casualties and property damage in terms of direct and indirect costs. For ...

Landslide early warning systems are non-structural risk mitigation strategies aiming at dealing with intolerably high probabilities of landslide occurrence by reducing risk through the reduction of the exposed elements. ...

Subsidence and slow-moving landslides systematically cause social, economic and environmental impacts all over the world. For this reason studies aimed at both the characterization of subsidence and slow-moving landslides ...

Flow-like mass movements are catastrophic events occurring all over the world and may result in a great number of casualties and widespread damages. The analysis of the time-space evolution of the kinematic quantities is ...

Pyroclastic soils are widely diffused all over the world and they are characterized by high porosity and an open metastable internal structure. In situ they usually cover the shallowest layers of slopes in unsaturated ...
