The study area is in Caraguatatuba and São Sebastião municipalities, in the north coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The area presents high potential for landslides occurrence because it is in the domain of Serra do ...

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 ...

The Poás volcano is an active volcano of Costa Rica with intense tectonic activity in its flanks. Historically, the volcano has presented strong, surficial earthquakes provoking many landslides with associated casualties ...

Landslides triggered by rainfall are one of the most frequent causes for natural disasters in the tropical and mountainous countries, such as Colombia. However landslide susceptibility assessments are often limited due ...

In the city of Sao Paulo, where about 11 million people live, landslides and flooding occur frequently, especially during the summer. These landslides cause the destruction of houses and urban equipment, economic damage, ...

The manuscript presents a methodology to integrate spatial information of susceptibility, vulnerability and rainfall thresholds to produce a dynamic landslide risk map. The inputs were combined in two matrices: combining ...

Mass movement susceptibility mapping from rainfall data and in situ site characterization constitute an important approach for preventing geological-geotechnical accidents on railroads and highways. A comprehensive site ...

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 ...
