Landslide risk index map at the municipal scale for Costa Rica
(2021-04-01)
Landslides are a common natural hazard worldwide with greater socioeconomic impacts in developing and tropical countries. In Central America and Costa Rica, this phenomenon is mainly triggered by seismicity and extraordinary ...
Landslides Zonation Hazard: Relation between geological structures and landslides occurrence in hilly tropical regions of Brazil
(2017-10-01)
This paper presents a new approach of landslides zonation hazard studies, based on an integrated study of structural data along with geomorphological and external factors, in a hilly regions of Brazil, covered by a tropical ...
Kinematics of a translational/rotational landslide, Central Andes, Northwestern Argentina
(Geological Society of America, 2006-04)
The eastern foothills of the Central Andes, known as the Subandean Ranges, in Peru, Bolivia, and northwestern Argentina, are characterized by heavy rainfall, weakly cemented substrate rocks, thick regoliths, and bedding ...
Subaqueous landslides at the distal basin of Lago Nahuel Huapi (Argentina): Towards a tsunami hazard evaluation in Northern Patagonian lakes
(Elsevier Science, 2016-06-07)
The May 22nd, 1960 Valdivia earthquake, Chile (Mw 9.5) triggered a series of subaqueous mass-wasting processes (debris flows and slides) in Lago Nahuel Huapi (Argentina), generating a tsunami-like wave that hit the coasts ...
Combining neural networks andgeostatistics for landslide hazardassessment of San Salvador metropolitan area, El Salvador
(Centro de Investigaciones en Matemática Pura y Aplicada (CIMPA) y Escuela de Matemática, San José, Costa Rica., 2016)
Landslide Hazard and Risk Zonation Mapping in the Río Grande Basin, Central Andes of Mendoza, Argentina
(Mountain Research & Development, 2002-05)
This paper presents an inventory of landslides and hazard and risk zonation mapping along the Río Grande basin in the Central Andes of Mendoza. The mapping was based on field work combined with interpretation of aerial ...
Mapping hazard risk: A case study of Ubatuba, Brazil
(2009-02-01)
Steep slopes in subtropical zones are always at risk from landslides. The risk greatly increases when there is rapid, unplanned urban growth. This has happened at Ubatuba on the Brazilian coast - tourism-related development ...

Applicability of spatial prediction models for landslide susceptibility in land-use zoning instruments: a guideline in a coastal settlement in South-Central Chile
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021)
Landslide hazard is usually incorporated into land-use planning as susceptibility zoning. Multiple-variable models have been widely used for susceptibility zoning due to their advantage to use different performance techniques ...
Small Landslide Susceptibility and Hazard Assessment Based on Airborne LiDAR Data
(Amer Soc Photogrammetry, 2015-03)
Landslides are natural disasters that cause environmental and infrastructure damage worldwide. To prevent future risk posed by such events, effective methods to detect and map their hazards are needed. Traditional landslide ...
