Simple ground-water flow analyses can clarify complex empirical relations between rainfall and landslide motion. Here we present detailed data on rainfall, ground-water flow, and …
Episodically to continuously active slow‐moving landslides are driven by precipitation. Climate change, which is altering both the frequency and magnitude of precipitation …
Precipitation drives seasonal velocity changes in slow-moving landslides by increasing pore- water pressure and reducing the effective normal stress along basal shear zones. This …
ABSTRACT A sediment budget for a drainage basin is a quantitative statement of the rates of production, transport, and discharge of detritus. To construct a sediment budget for a …
