Book Description
Landslide Hazards, Risks and Disasters Second Edition makes a broad but detailed examination of major aspects of mass movements and their consequences, and provides knowledge to form the basis for more complete and accurate monitoring, prediction, preparedness and reduction of the impacts of landslides on society. The frequency and intensity of landslide hazards and disasters has consistently increased over the past century, and this trend will continue as society increasingly utilises steep landscapes. Landslides and related phenomena can be triggered by other hazard and disaster processes – such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and wildfires – and they can also cause other hazards and disasters, making them a complex multi-disciplinary challenge. This new edition of Landslide Hazards, Risks and Disasters is updated and includes new chapters, covering additional topics including rockfalls, landslide interactions and impacts and geomorphic perspectives. Knowledge, understanding and the ability to model landslide processes are becoming increasingly important challenges for society extends its occupation of increasingly hilly and mountainous terrain, making this book a key resource for educators, researchers and disaster managers in geophysics, geology and environmental science. Provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the geological, seismological, physical, environmental and social impacts of landslides Presents the latest research on causality, impacts and landslide preparedness and mitigation. Includes numerous tables, maps, diagrams, illustrations, photographs and video captures of hazardous processes Discusses steps for planning for and responding to landslide hazards, risks and disasters

Book Description
Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to "Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard” and in a “Young Session” complete the books. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice underlines the importance of the classic approach of modern science, which moves from experience to theory, as the basic instrument to study landslides. Experience is the key to understand the natural phenomena focusing on all the factors that play a major role. Theory is the instrument to manage the data provided by experience following a mathematical approach; this allows not only to clarify the nature and the deep causes of phenomena but mostly, to predict future and, if required, manage similar events. Practical benefits from the results of theory to protect people and man-made works. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice is useful to scientists and practitioners working in the areas of rock and soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and geology.

Book Description
At present, the intensification of global climate and environmental change has led to frequent occurrence of natural hazards. Various types of natural hazards always overlap and interact, or occur in a chain reaction, with a wide range of impacts and a long period of time, resulting in serious disaster losses. Typically, major earthquakes and geological hazards, extreme meteorological hazards, large-scale floods and droughts, marine disasters, and forest and grassland fires, as well as their compound and chained hazards are among the key factors affecting human life safety and world economic development. To better our understanding of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, it is thus pivotal to facilitate advanced perception, intelligent early warning, accurate prevention, and efficient rescue of natural hazards. This Research Topic aims to collect both Original Research and Review articles addressing the state-of-the-art advances of theories and methodologies in all types of natural hazards. Studies underlining the compound and chained relationship between different hazards are in particular welcomed. Potential themes include, but are not limited to: • Mechanisms of formation, evolution, and disaster process of multiple natural hazards as well as their compound and chained natural hazards • Model and scenario development regarding whole process control, chain breaking of key nodes, and precise prevention of major natural hazard chains • Methods and applications on detection, identification, database establishment, and spatiotemporal evolution law analysis of natural hazard sources • Technologies on intelligent early warning and refined risk assessment of compound and chained natural hazards. • Rescue equipment and investigation of post-disaster community reconstruction

Book Description
Earthquake-induced, or coseismic, landslides occur in great number during moderate to large (>M5) earthquakes. These landslides typically occur across regions spanning hundreds to thousands of square kilometers. The widespread geographic distribution of coseismic landslides makes them, by definition, regional-scale events. Current regional-scale landslide hazard analyses are typically based solely on the analysis of shallow translational landslides, neglecting many mechanistically-diverse types of landslides triggered by earthquakes that have historically driven coseismic-losses. Existing landslide hazard models are then difficult to translate into coseismic landslide risk, the likelihood of loss of life or property due to such a landslide, as the modeled landslide is not representative of many observed landslides, and virtually no quantitative data on the consequences and vulnerability of structures are available for landslides. Here a new multi-modal framework for coseismic landslide hazard analysis is presented. Coseismic landslide hazard is developed from multiple, distinct, types of landslides to explicitly account for differences in failure mechanism, susceptible terrain, and consequences of each landslide. This work improves regional-scale coseismic landslide hazard and consequence analyses by developing mode-based hazard analyses to explicitly account for mechanistic differences in coseismic landslides and developing unique mode-specific landslide consequence data. These advances in modeling and knowledge of coseismic landslide consequences, paired with an assessment of the effect of anthropogenic modification on landslide susceptibility, provide a greatly improved framework in which coseismic landslide risk can be quantitatively assessed. Improved quantitative risk analyses will better enable mitigation strategies and decisions to be made to protect individuals, communities, and the built environment from future coseismic landslide losses. The multi-modal framework was developed to compute coseismic landslide hazard for Lebanon considering four landslide modes with unique source regions, failure mechanisms, and implications to human and economic risk. Coseismic landslide hazard was computed for 10% in 50-year probabilistic seismic hazard peak ground accelerations, as well as historic scenario earthquakes, to assess the model’s ability to match field observations of historic landslide activity and mapped coseismic landslides. High-quality empirical data on the physical consequences of coseismic rock impacts to residential dwellings is presented from the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. These quantitative measures of rock impacts are a critical missing piece in the analysis of quantitative risk assessment, and provide a foundation for life-safety decision-making anywhere residential homes are exposed to falling rock. Landslides triggered by the 2011 M9.0 Tohoku, Japan earthquake were mapped and analyzed to assess the role of topographic, climatic, anthropogenic, and ground motion parameters in the initiation of different landslide failure modes as well as the consequences to the built environment caused by each landslide type. A physically-based framework, based on a common simplified landslide initiation model, was found to describe the observed concentrations of landslides triggered by the Tohoku earthquake, whereas commonly-held explanatory metrics such as peak ground acceleration did not. Anthropogenic modification was found to significantly alter expected material strengths, and landslide susceptibility to failure, for debris slides triggered by the Tohoku earthquake. 42% of all Tohoku-triggered landslides impacted the built environment, destroying roadways and structures, and causing significant economic losses. 67% of all Tohoku-triggered landslides occurred in anthropogenically modified hillslopes. These data suggest many of the risks associated with large magnitude subduction zone earthquake-induced landslides may be of our own design, threatening many aggressively developed regions with decreased slope resistance to landslides and increased potential for loss. Probabilistic coseismic landslide hazard analyses are presented for Seattle, Washington based on a suite of 30 synthetic M9.0 Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes, the 2001 M6.8 Nisqually earthquake, and a scenario M7.0 synthetic Seattle Fault earthquake. A simplified 475-year return period probabilistic coseismic landslide hazard analysis, combining multiple sources of seismicity, was then developed for Seattle. The multi-modal coseismic landslide hazard analysis, combined with probabilistic estimates of material strength and ground shaking and empirical ground saturation data, is presented as a state-of-the-art regional-scale coseismic landslide hazard analysis, and as a basis for future analyses assessing Cascadia Subduction Zone coseismic landslide hazard across the Pacific Northwest.
