Warming of the Earth climate system is unequivocal. That climate changes affect the stability
of natural and engineered slopes and have consequences on landslides, is also …

Increased landslide activity is commonly listed as an expected impact of human-induced
climate change. This paper examines the theoretical and empirical bases for this assertion. It …

Landslides are a ubiquitous hazard in terrestrial environments with slopes, incurring human
fatalities in urban settlements, along transport corridors and at sites of rural industry …

The Handbook provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for hazard and
disaster research, policy making, and practice in an international and multi-disciplinary …

Glaciation and deglaciation, along with their associated climatic and non-climatic processes,
modify slope stresses and influence slope stability. Paraglacial slope failures are those that …

In this work it is demonstrated how the combination of multi-sensor and multi-temporal SAR
data improves the monitoring capacity of very slow landslides. The study area is the Upper …

A large number of landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir area in China have been
reactivated by reservoir impoundment since 2003. Many of them were activated as slow …

Globally, many built-up areas are threatened by multiple hazards which pose significant
threat to humans, buildings and infrastructure. However, the analysis of the physical …

Landslides cause damage to property and unfortunately pose a threat even to human lives.
Good landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk models could help mitigate or even avoid the …
