There is no doubt that land cover and climate changes have consequences on landslide activity, but it still an open issue to assess quantify their impacts. Wanzhou County in southwest China was selected as the test area study rainfall-induced shallow susceptibility under future of use (LULC) climate. We used a high-resolution meteorological precipitation dataset frequency distribution model ana...

Abstract Centrifuge model tests on slopes subject to shaking and rainfall have been performed examine the response of with shaking-induced cracks subsequent evaluate corresponding landslide-triggering mechanisms. The failure pattern slope then was found different from that only rainfall. When caused shoulder rupture line below, mobilized soil slid along slip surface extended line, main crack be...

Despite great advances in remote sensing technologies, accurate satellite information is sometimes challenged tropical regions where dense vegetation prevents the instruments from retrieving reliable readings. In this work, we introduce a satellite-based landslide rainfall threshold for country of Colombia by studying 4 years measurements The Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with St...

Given the importance of vegetation cover for hydric balance, present paper aimed to analyze pluviometric dynamics net precipitation and interception process, in forested hillslope Tijuca National Park. The influence by a set independents variables given hydrometeorological (rainfall volume intensity drought context) was discussed face temporal modulation precipitation, coupled spatial compariso...

Predicting runoff producing areas and their corresponding risks of generating storm runoff is important for developing watershed management strategies to mitigate non-point source pollution. However, few methods for making these predictions have been proposed, especially operational approaches that would be useful in areas where variable source area (VSA) hydrology dominates storm runoff. The o...

Severe drought periods followed by intense rainfall often leads to major floods in Mediterranean catchments. The resulting hydrology is complex and the response of solutes in the streams is often unpredictable. This study aimed to identify the most relevant factors controlling the hydrological responses to storms of an intermittent Mediterranean stream and to link those factors with dissolved o...

Regional studies of biotic communities are important for characterising their normal spatial and temporal variation, but there are few such studies of tropical streams. This paper describes changes in invertebrate communities in Yuccabine Creek, a seasonal upland rainforest stream in tropical Australia, over three-year and decadal periods. Invertebrate abundance, richness and evenness were temp...

[1] The effect of pre-storm land surface on the monsoon depressions (MDs) is studied. The Weather Research Forecast (WRF) model was configured with two nested domains to explore the sensitivity of MDs to antecedent soil moisture and land surface representation for selected three landfalling MDs during August 2006. Results indicate that WRF had good ability to simulate the MDs, and the post land...

Jharkhand state is characterized by plateau terrain and facing sever water scarcity largely on account of high runoff generated by adequate annual rainfall of about 1400mm per year. The run-off is one of the important hydrologic variables used for assessment of potential water yield of a watershed and appropriate measures for ground water recharging. The quantity and rate of runoff is influence...
