We can distinguish three phases of using the SAR and other EO satellite data in landslide studies: 1. Surface characterisation, ie initial topographic and geomorphological classification, DEMs, photogrammetry (using Spot and Landsat); 2. Measurement of slow to extremely slow slope movements by means of SAR interferometry; 3. Systematic monitoring of temporal-spatial variations in some slide pro...

introduction a landslide or landslip is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope s...

Early diagenetic modification of magnetic properties is an important process in marine sediments, but temporal and spatial variability of diagenetic processes have rarely been reported for recent coastal sediments. The magnetic properties of sediments from the Ria de Vigo (NW Spain) define a marked three-part zonation with depth. The uppermost zone is magnetically dominated by (titano-)magnetit...

[1] Apatite He/He thermochronometry has the potential to constrain cooling histories for individual samples provided that several presently untested assumptions are valid. Here we simulate the sensitivity of He/He spectra to assumptions regarding geometric model, crystallographic anisotropy, broken grain terminations, parent nuclide zonation, and the accuracy of results obtained from analyses o...

The rapid spread and diversification of outdoor recreation can impact on wildlife in various ways, often leading to the avoidance of disturbed habitats. To mitigate human-wildlife conflicts, spatial zonation schemes can be implemented to separate human activities from key wildlife habitats, e.g., by designating undisturbed wildlife refuges or areas with some level of restriction to human recrea...

This paper examines the possible causes of collapse of a primary school in San Giuliano, Italy, in the 2002 Molise earthquake, which killed 27 students and one teacher. It also considers the general sources of seismic vulnerability of school buildings in Italy prior to the introduction of new seismic zonation and new seismic codes in 2003. In addition to incomplete seismic zonation and inadequa...

Debris flows induced by heavy rainfall are a major threat in Northwest and Southwest China, due to its abrupt occurrence long runout. In light of this, this work presents the runout simulation risk assessment Boshuigou debris flow under different conditions Wudu district, Gansu Province, China. Based on field reconnaissance, geomorphological feature main source were described. With application ...

We experimentally examined plant zonation in a previously unstudied Chilean salt marsh system to test the generality of mechanisms generating zonation of plants across intertidal stress gradients. Vertical zonation in this system is striking. The low-lying clonal succulent, Sarcocornia fruticosa, dominates the daily flooded low marsh, while intermediate elevations are dominated by the much tall...
