Vegetation cover is an important factor influencing the occurrence and movement of rainfall-
triggered landslides, and changes to vegetation cover often result in modified landslide …

More than a decade has passed since the publication of the benchmark paper of Costa and
Schuster (Costa, JE and Schuster, RL 1988: The formation and failure of natural dams …

A wide variety of climatic factors influence the occurrence of debris flows, which include
mudflows and lahars (see Chapter 2). Climatic factors are an important subject for a better …

Shallow, rainfall-triggered landslides are an important catchment process that affect the rate
and calibre of sediment within river networks and create a significant hazard, particularly …

Landsliding is one of the many natural processes that shape the surface of the earth. It is
only when landslides threaten mankind that they represent a hazard. Landslides belong to a …

Soil is a critical resource that provides many ecosystem services and is highly valued by
indigenous cultures as key for supporting essential human needs. Land degradation …

Characteristics of the suspended sediment load in the Waipaoa River, New Zealand, and in
two of its tributaries (Mangatu and Te Arai Rivers) are examined for evidence of different …

Knowledge of long-term average rates of erosion is necessary if factors affecting sediment
yields from catchments are to be understood. Without such information, it is not possible to …

Abstract Landsliding in New Zealand most commonly occurs in the form of multiple-
occurrence landslide events, simultaneously involving thousands to ten thousands of …

Human‐induced modifications of the vegetation cover in river basins may cause strong
geomorphic responses by disturbing sediment supply, transport and deposition regimes …
