Abstract The Indian Himalayan region is highly susceptible to landslides because of its
complex geology, rugged topography, steep slopes augmented by seismo-tectonic activities …

The overall objective of this review is to gain insights into landslide risk reduction measures
that are applied or recommended in tropical landslide-prone countries, and the challenges …

Topographic input parameters such as slope, curvature, and drainage area are derived from
a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) representing the spatial elevation, and are widely used as …

Heavy precipitation is the main trigger for debris-flow hazards. The antecedent moisture
condition, which is usually represented by antecedent precipitation, is another …

Landslide susceptibility map provides a useful tool to the decision-makers to prevent and
mitigate landslide hazards. For this study 16 spatial parameters and past landslide inventory …

The study of rainfall thresholds is vital in understanding the factors that trigger landslides,
being one of the criteria applied to landslide early warning systems that aim to mitigate their …

The Tista basin is one of the most vulnerable among the Himalayan river basins considering
the occurrence of landslides and floods. The landslides occurred in 1899, 1950, 1968, 1976 …

The mountainous terrain of the East-Northeast tectonic ensemble covers an approximate
area of 3, 11,420 km2 comprising the Eastern Himalayan zone, Northeast India and Bhutan …

Landslides in the hill slopes around Guwahati region (~ 328 km 2) are mostly rain–triggered.
Although landslides in this region involves relatively smaller volumes of soil (typically 100 …

Abstract A Rainfall-Induced Landslide (RIL) is one of the most destructive disasters in hilly
regions causing loss of lives and livestock, damage to agricultural lands, and destruction of …
