Life and death of slow-moving landslides
In the most destructive and catastrophic landslide events, rocks, soil and fluids can travel at
speeds approaching several tens of metres per second. However, many landslides …

[HTML][HTML] The role of infrequently mobile boulders in modulating landscape evolution and geomorphic hazards
A landscape's sediment grain size distribution is the product of, and an important influence
on, earth surface processes and landscape evolution. Grains can be large enough that the …

Landslide sensitivity and response to precipitation changes in wet and dry climates
Slow‐moving landslides are hydrologically driven. Yet, landslide sensitivity to precipitation,
and in particular, precipitation extremes, is difficult to constrain because landslides occur …

Unsaturated flow processes and the onset of seasonal deformation in slow‐moving landslides
Predicting rainfall‐induced landslide motion is challenging because shallow groundwater
flow is extremely sensitive to the preexisting moisture content in the ground. Here, we use …

A new type of sliding zone soil and its severe effect on the formation of giant landslides in the **sha River tectonic suture zone, China
S Ren, Y Zhang, J Li, X Liu, R Wu - Natural Hazards, 2023 - Springer
Most of the major rivers in the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau are distributed along
the tectonic suture zone, where many giant landslides are present. The catastrophic Baige …

The influence of coarse particle abundance and spatial distribution on sediment transport and cluster evolution in steep channels under sediment-starved conditions
Large particles strongly influence flow resistance, energy dissipation, bed stability, and
channel morphology in mountain streams. We conducted flume experiments to evaluate …

Boulders as a lithologic control on river and landscape response to tectonic forcing at the Mendocino triple junction
Constraining Earth's sediment mass balance over geologic time requires a quantitative
understanding of how landscapes respond to transient tectonic perturbations. However, the …

How big is a boulder? The importance of boulder definition choice in earth science research and river management
Boulders are globally widespread and influence processes across many landscapes
including hillslopes, coasts, rivers and extra‐terrestrial settings. Boulders are described as …
