Landslides induced by the 2010 Chile megathrust earthquake: a comprehensive inventory and correlations with geological and seismic factors
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
The 2010 Mw = 8.8 Maule earthquake, which occurred in the subduction contact between the Nazca and the South American tectonic plates off the coast of Chile, represents an important opportunity to improve understanding of ...
Assessment of landslide occurrences in Serra do Mar mountain range using kinematic analyses
(2018-05-01)
Due to its meteorological, geological and geomorphological settings, Brazilian’s Atlantic coast have suffered severe landslide phenomena, particularly along the cost of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Santa Catarina states. ...
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 ...
Coseismic and postseismic motion of a landslide: Observations,modeling, and analogy with tectonic faults
(American Geophysical UnionUS, 2014-10)
We document the first time series of a landslide reactivation by an earthquake using continuous GPS measurements over the Maca landslide (Peru). Our survey shows a coseismic response of the landslide of about 2 cm, followed ...
Assessment of landslides susceptibility in Serra do Mar by application of physiographic compartmentalizationAvaliação da suscetibilidade a escorregamento na Serra do Mar pela aplicação da compartimentação fisiográfica
(2019-01-01)
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 ...
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 ...
Tectonic and climatic controls on the Chuquibamba landslide (western Andes, southern Peru)
(European Geosciences UnionDE, 2015-06)
The contribution of landslides to the Quaternary evolution of relief is poorly documented in arid contexts. In southern Peru and northern Chile, several massive landslides disrupt the arid western Andean front. The Chuquibamba ...
The assessment of soil chemical, physical, and structural properties as landslide predisposing factors in the Serra do Mar mountain range (Caraguatatuba, Brazil)
(2020-09-01)
Landslides have environmental, social, and economic impact in the Brazilian Atlantic coast (Serra do Mar). In addition to meteorological, geological, and geomorphological settings, mineralogical and pore space heterogeneities ...
Landslide risk assessment considering socionatural factors: methodology and application to Cubatão municipality, São Paulo, Brazil
(2022-01-01)
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 ...
Mapping of risk and susceptibility of shallow-landslide in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
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, ...
