Rainfall-induced shallow landslides can seriously affect cultivations and infrastructures and
cause human losses. A continuous monitoring of unsaturated soil hydrological properties is …

The paper deals with the modeling of failure and postfailure stage of shallow landslides of
the flow-type that often affect natural shallow deposits of colluvial, weathered, and …

Rainfall-induced flow landslides in coarse-grained soils pose significant threats to
populations and structures due to their high velocities, long travel distance and the absence …

Flow-like mass movements in granular materials are among the most serious natural
hazards, systematically producing huge amounts of damage and numerous victims …

Rainfall-induced debris flows involving ash-fall pyroclastic deposits that cover steep
mountain slopes surrounding the Somma-Vesuvius volcano are natural events and a source …

Landslides are mainly triggered by decrease in the matric suction with deepening the
wetting band by rainfall infiltrations. This paper reports rainfall-induced landslides in partially …

This paper investigates the effects of indigenous vegetation on the shear strength of loose
pyroclastic soils of the Campania region (southern Italy); these soils are frequently affected …

The majority of the Landslide Early Warning Systems (LEWS) currently in operation are
based on the monitoring of rainfall data alone and this limits their performance due to false …

Mayotte is a French Overseas Territory of the Comoros archipelago. Since the 1980, Mayotte
has developed quickly: its population has multiplied by four in less than 30years …

Rainfall-induced shallow landslides of flow type provide unstable masses which often travel
long run-out distances with high velocities, thus posing a high societal risk when they affect …
