Process-based hydrological models have a long history dating back to the 1960s. Criticized
by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult to use, a more nuanced view is …

Rainfall-initiated landslides continue to inflict damages and loss of life throughout the world.
Processes and mechanisms revealed from hydrological, geomorphic, geotechnical …

Rainfall‐triggered landslides are among the most widespread hazards in the world. The
hydrology in and around a landslide area is key to pore pressure buildup in the soil skeleton …

Rainfall-induced shallow landslide is a common geological hazard around the world that
can pose serious threat to both lives and property. Previous studies suggested that rainfall …

A large number of studies over the past four decades have demonstrated the ubiquity of
preferential flow in diverse soils. Because of its significant impacts on ecosystem services …

Tree roots have long been recognized to increase slope stability by reinforcing the strength
of soils. Slope stability models usually include the effects of roots by adding an apparent …

In this study, we employed various machine learning-based techniques in predicting factor
of safety against slope failures. Different regression methods namely, multi-layer perceptron …

Vegetation is widely recognized as a key factor controlling the occurrence of shallow
landslides in vegetation-covered areas. In such areas, the root system plays a critical role …

Excessive rainfall is considered the major landslide triggering mechanism, especially in
tropical climate regions. During rainfall, water infiltrates into the subsurface; reducing the …

Although numerous studies have been paid much attention to rainfall-induced instability of
multilayered slopes, the interface between layers is generally considered to be “zero …
