Landslides have caused extensive infrastructure damage and caused human fatalities for centuries. Intense precipitation and large earthquakes are considered to be two major landslide triggers, particularly in the case of catastrophic landslides. The...

The occurrence and development of a landslide is a gradual process of destruction, causing huge losses to people’s lives and property. The shear strength of the shear zone gradually decreases to the residual state during the sliding process but...

Intense rainfall-induced shallow landslides can have severe consequences, including soil erosion and vegetation loss, making in-depth research essential for disaster risk management. However, vegetation recovery processes after shallow landslides and...

The global biodiversity crisis has emphasized the unique contribution of functional diversity to ecosystem function, stability, and resilience. In this regard, the increasing availability of remotely sensed data together with the development of new s...

In the landslide chain from pre-disaster conditions to landslide mitigation and recovery, time is an important factor in understanding the geological hazards process and managing landsides. Static knowledge graphs are unable to capture the temporal d...

Detecting areas where a landslide or a mudslide might occur is critical for emergency response, disaster recovery, and disaster cost estimation. Previous works have reported that a variety of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) significantly outperf...

Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) can provide valuable information for local governments in landslide prevention and mitigation. Despite significant improvements in the predictive performance of LSM, it remains a challenge to be carried out in a...

The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake induced landslides that destroyed large swaths of mountain vegetation. Presently, the damaged vegetation areas are exhibiting various stages of recovery depending on environments. A spatial analysis of earthquake-damaged...

On 12 May 2008, the 8.0-magnitude Wenchuan earthquake occurred in Sichuan Province, China, triggering thousands of landslides, debris flows, and barrier lakes, leading to a substantial loss of life and damage to the local environment and infrastructu...

Building extraction in landslide-affected scattered mountainous areas is essential for sustainable development, as it improves disaster risk management, fosters sustainable land use, safeguards the environment, and bolsters socio-economic advancement...

The rapid detection of landslide phenomena that may be triggered by extreme rainfall events is a critical point concerning timely response and the implementation of mitigation measures. The main goal of the present study is to identify susceptible ar...

As is already known, some currently stable landslides may have been activated in the past along a pre-existing sliding surface and reached the residual strength there, as a consequence of high-cumulative displacements. After a fairly long period of q...

Vegetation and subsequent ecosystem services can recover over time in forest headwaters devastated by massive disasters. However, in cold regions, their recovery rates are typically slow and often imperceptible, which makes it difficult to evaluate h...

Earthquakes are among the most impressive natural phenomena with very high potential to set off a chain of effects that significantly affects public health through casualties and injuries. Related disasters are attributed not only to the strong groun...

Some valuable minerals, such as lignite, are extracted through open-pit mining works. After the cessation of mining activity, large-scale gaps result in the landscape. These gaps, also called “remaining gaps”, represent some of the roughest types of...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been an unparalleled tool in cloudy and rainy regions as it allows observations throughout the year because of its all-weather, all-day operation capability. In this paper, the influence of Wenchuan Earthquake on t...

Natural disasters have increasingly threatened human life, infrastructure, and ecosystems, exacerbated by climate change, urbanization, and deforestation. Effective disaster risk management is crucial to mitigate these impacts. Traditionally, Geograp...

Without a reliable design method for the leaching and seepage step of in situ leaching (ISL), problems such as low comprehensive resource recovery rate and frequent geological disasters such as landslides are prominent. This study established a simpl...

Collapses are one of the most common geological disasters in mountainous areas, which easily damage buildings and infrastructures and bring huge property losses to people’s production and life. This paper uses Huinan County as the study area, a...

Springshed management across mountainous states, such as India and Nepal, has paved the way for the groundwater recharge process. In contrast, despite introducing several interventions, the Bangladeshi government has never been officially exposed to...

In the second half of the 20th century, the western Antarctic Peninsula recorded the highest mean annual air temperature rise in the Antarctic. The South Shetland Islands are located about 100 km northwest of the Antarctic Peninsula. The mean annual...

Land degradation and soil erosion, intensified by frequent intense hydro-meteorological events, pose significant threats to ecological processes. In response to the environmental challenges, there is a growing emphasis on employing Nature-Based Solut...
