Progress in Landslide Research and Technology, Volume 1 Issue 1, 2022
This open access book provides an overview of the progress in landslide research and technology and is part of a book series of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL). The book provides a common platform for the publication of recent progress in landslide research and technology for practical applications and the benefit for the society contributing to the Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020, which is expected to continue up to 2030 and even beyond to globally promote the understanding and reduction of landslide disaster risk, as well as to address the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals.
Landslide Dynamics: ISDR-ICL Landslide Interactive Teaching Tools
This interactive book presents comprehensive information on the fundamentals of landslide types and dynamics, while also providing a set of PPT, PDF, and text tools for education and capacity development. As the core activity of the Sendai Partnerships, the International Consortium of Landslides has created this two-volume work, which will be regularly updated and improved over the coming years, based on responses from users and lessons learned during its application.
Progress in Landslide Research and Technology, Volume 4 Issue 1, 2025
This open access book provides an overview of the progress in landslide research and technology and is part of a book series of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL). The book provides a common platform for the publication of recent progress in landslide research and technology for practical applications and the benefit for the society contributing to the Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020, which is expected to continue up to 2030 and even beyond to globally promote the understanding and reduction of landslide disaster risk, as well as to address the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals.
Applied Geology
This book includes a careful selection of significant contributions from international experts that were presented at the 6th AIGA Conference “Applied Geology: Approaches to Future Resource Management” that was held in the Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy, from 27 - 29 June 2018. The following 7 areas are the main themes covered in this volume: · Applied Geology · Hydrogeology · Geological Exploration (underground) · Slope Instability, · Natural Hazards, Risk Assessment and Management, · Geo-resources and Sustainable Development · Application of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) The authors, from academia, research and industry present the latest state of the practice, new technologies, innovative methods and sustainable management in the field of Applied and Environmental Geology. This carefully edited work will be of value to academia, professionals, scientists and decision makers.
Hydrological Hazard: Analysis and Prevention
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Hydrological Hazard: Analysis and Prevention" that was published in Geosciences
Rainfall Thresholds and Other Approaches for Landslide Prediction and Early Warning
Landslides are destructive processes causing casualties and damage worldwide. The majority of the landslides are triggered by intense and/or prolonged rainfall. Therefore, the prediction of the occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides is an important scientific and social issue. To mitigate the risk posed by rainfall-induced landslides, landslide early warning systems (LEWS) can be built and applied at different scales as effective non-structural mitigation measures. Usually, the core of a LEWS is constituted of a mathematical model that predicts landslide occurrence in the monitored areas. In recent decades, rainfall thresholds have become a widespread and well established technique for th...
