Every year, hundreds of people all over the world lose their lives due to landslides. Landslide susceptibility map describes the likelihood or possibility of new landslides occurring in an area, and therefore helping to reduce future potential damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide landslide susceptibility map using logistic regression model at Latyan watershed, north Iran. I...

rainfall is recognized as one of the main triggering factors of landslides. researchers have long attempted to determine the amount of precipitation required to trigger slope failures. one of the landslide zones in iran is chaharmahal & bakhtiari province where many landslides cause high casualties in recent decades. it is significant that most of these landslides occur after a rainy period...

Our research has shown that interferometric SAR techniques can be used to monitor deformation at landslides and volcanoes under specific conditions. Special filtered interferograms are being used to reduce speckle and minimize errors created by vegetation. InSAR images were used to monitor current post slide motion along existing fault lines at the Frank Slide a 30 x 10 m rock avalanche, in the...

landslide also referred to as mass movement, slope failures, slope instability, and terrain instability is the mass movement, usually sudden, of soil and debris down a steep slope (Cruden, 1991). They are caused by a variety of factors such as heavy rains, earthquake ground shaking or geological forces. Different types of landslides move down slope at a wide range of speeds (Varnes, 1978). Most...

The walls of the Valles Marineris canyons are affected by about 45 landslides. The study of these landslides provides a test of the hypothesis of processes having affected Martian wallslopes after their formation. The dynamics of Valles Marineris landslides are controversial : either the landslides are interpreted as large debris flows or as dry rock avalanches. Their morphology and their topog...
