There is serious concern that the hazard, or probability, of river floods is increasing over
time. Starting from narratives that are sometimes discussed in public, the article addresses …

The wide range of both spatial and temporal scales distinguishes landslide processes
significantly from other natural processes such as floods, earthquake shaking or tsunamis …

Natural hazards like landslides, avalanches, floods and debris flows can result in enormous
property damage and human casualties in mountainous regions. Switzerland has always …

The paper deals with the validation and evaluation of mathematical models in natural
hazard analysis, with a special focus on establishing their predictive power. Although most …

The role of land use dynamics on shallow landslide susceptibility remains an unresolved
problem. Thus, this work aims to assess the influence of land use changes on shallow …

Three small catchments (< 2.5 km2 in size) were monitored in the Central Spanish Pyrenees
to analyse the hydrological and geomorphological consequences of different land covers …

The Pyrenees, like many other mountain areas in Europe, have experienced depopulation
and land abandonment during the 20th century. This has encouraged vegetation recovery in …

Land use and land cover changes (LULCCs) in mountainous areas may increase the
susceptibility to landslides due to modifications of topography, vegetation, and material …

Debris flow and debris flood phenomena threat the life of thousands of citizens living in
mountain areas and endanger buildings and infrastructure worldwide. The assessment of …

The main characteristic of landscape evolution in the Pyrenees during the 20th century is the
increased presence of shrubs in old fields. Revegetation is mainly recorded on medium and …
