Abstract: Largely unknown mechanisms restrain motion of clay-rich, slow-moving landslides that are widespread worldwide and rarely accelerate catastrophically. We studied a clayey, slow-moving landslide typical of thousands in Northern California, USA, to decipher hydrologic-mechanical interactions that… read more here.

Abstract: Rainfall induced landslides are a common threat to the communities living on dangerous hill-slopes in Chittagong Metropolitan Area, Bangladesh. Extreme population pressure, indiscriminate hill cutting, increased precipitation events due to global warming and associated unplanned… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract. Aspect-dependent landslide initiation is an interesting finding, and previous studies have attributed this to the mechanical effects of plant roots. In the present study, an overwhelming landslide probability on a south-facing slope over a… read more here.
