As a typical form of weathering, cyclic wetting-drying treatment on host rock is commonly
encountered in many applications of geotechnical engineering. How cyclic wetting-drying …

Nowadays, several systems to set up landslide inventories exist although they rarely rely on
automated or real-time updates. Mass media can provide reliable info about natural hazard …

Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) has proven to be a powerful tool for
monitoring landslide movements with a wide spatial and temporal coverage. Interpreting …

This paper presents some of the results and experiences in monitoring the hydraulic
response of downscaled slope models under simulated rainfall in 1 g. The downscaled …

In unsaturated shallow deposits, rainfall infiltration and runoff may cause either slope failure
or erosion processes depending on the combination of rainfall intensity and duration …

Rainfall thresholds of landslides often are determined by empirical meteorological
thresholds, but the reliability of this approach sometimes is limited by the lack of information …

Mountainous areas surrounding the Campanian Plain and the Somma-Vesuvius volcano
(southern Italy) are among the most risky areas of Italy due to the repeated occurrence of …

Due to periodic changes of moisture conditions (ie, seasonal rainfall, floating up and down
of groundwater level, periodic tide and ebb, and cyclic storage and drainage of water in …

Field investigations and back-analyses of (re) activated landslides in the Rječina River
Valley indicate prolonged intense rainfall and the rise of the groundwater table, often to the …

Abstract Background In Italy landslides are widespread natural phenomena causing a
significant number of fatalities and huge economic losses throughout the country every year …
