Loess is a meta-stable, cemented assemblage of mainly silt and clay-sized particles of low
plasticity. When dry it behaves like a brittle material, but when wetted up the fabric rapidly …

A profound understanding of the interaction between loess slopes and tunnels, along with
the mastery of protective measures for tunnels crossing loess slopes, is crucial for ensuring …

Landslides are a common type of natural disaster that brings great threats to the human lives
and economic development around the world, especially in the Chinese Loess Plateau …

Abstract In this study, 14,544 loess landslides collected from the Loess Plateau of China are
used to reveal their distribution and origins. Main factors considered include landslide …

Every year about one third of the geohazards in China occur in the Loess Plateau causing
human loss, damaging gas and oil pipelines, destroying highways, railways and degrading …

Real-time monitoring and intelligent early warning system are crucial and significant to take
mitigation measures and reduce casualties and property losses related to landslides. It is …

A new method, combining empirical modeling with time series Interferometric Synthetic

Agricultural irrigation has increased the groundwater level in the Heitai terrace (part of the
Heifangtai terrace) by 20 m over nearly five decades, which causes 3–5 landslides each …

Intensification of agriculture leads to stress on the environment and subsequently can have
strong societal and ecological impacts. In deserts, areas of very high sensitivity to land-use …
