Karst environments are characterized by distinctive landforms related to dissolution and a
dominant subsurface drainage. The direct connection between the surface and the …

The large physiographic variability and the abundance of landslide and rainfall data make
Italy an ideal site to investigate variations in the rainfall conditions that can result in rainfall …

The seventh edition of Environmental Hazards provides a much expanded and fully up-to-
date overview of all the extreme environmental events that threaten people and what they …

A process chain for the definition and the performance assessment of an operational
regional warning model for rainfall-induced landslides, based on rainfall thresholds, is …

Traditionally, earth scientists assess landslide occurrence on the basis of geomorphological
investigations carried out through aerial photograph interpretation and fieldwork …

Landslide impacts on infrastructure and society in the Federal Republic of Germany are
associated with damage costs of about US $300 million on annual average. Despite the …

Rainfall-induced shallow landslides represent a serious threat in hilly and mountain areas
around the world. The mountainous landscape of the Cinque Terre (eastern Liguria, Italy) is …

Wildfires increase surface runoff and erosional processes from short and intense rain bursts.
In steep mountain watersheds, the progressive entrainment of material induced by surface …

Sinkholes are a widespread geological hazard, typical of karst lands, where they generally
originate as collapse features related to presence of underground voids. Nevertheless, other …

In this paper a novel optic fiber sensor (OFS) based on optical time domain reflectometer
