Tailings dam failures have received significant attention in recent years due to the
catastrophic downstream consequences, as evidenced by the 2019 Feijão disaster in Brazil …

The failures of engineered dams that retain freshwater or mining waste (tailings) have led to
socioeconomic and environmental consequences. However, the global magnitude …

This paper presents recommended methodologies for the quantitative analysis of landslide

The size of a shallow landslide is a fundamental control on both its hazard and geomorphic
importance. Existing models are either unable to predict landslide size or are …

It has been observed that landslide size distribution shows power-law scaling for large
landslide areas, with a roll-over for landslides below a certain threshold which frequently …

Debris-flow activity in a watershed is usually defined in terms of magnitude and frequency.
While magnitude–frequency (M–F) relations have long formed the basis for risk assessment …

Debris flows are typical compounded geohazards with long-term activity in earthquake-
stricken areas. Numerous debris flows were simultaneously induced by subsequent extreme …
