Urgilez Vinueza, A.R. (author)Landslide activity in the Andes remains an ongoing natural hazard with significant implications for regional development. Slow-moving landslides, while not typically resulting in catastrophic outcomes, can still cause substantial damage to critical infrastructure, including roads, buildings, crops, and hydropower dams. In southeast Ecuador, slow...doctoral thesis 2024

(author), Siame, L. (author)Landslides are major hazards that lead to cataclysmic changes in regional physiography. Their consequences are particularly significant when they affect a river system, forming dammed-lake upstream that represents a high flood threat for the downstream region. The Naryn River is the largest river in the Kyrgyz Tien Shan and is of great...journal article 2024

van Natijne, A.L. (author)Landslides are a major geohazard in hilly and mountainous environments. We focus on slow-moving, deep-seated landslides that are characterized by gradual, non-catastrophic deformations of millimeters to decimeters per year and cause extensive economic damage. To assess their potential impact and for the design of mitigation solutions, a detailed...doctoral thesis 2023

Uwihirwe, J. (author)For the development of regional landslide early warning systems, empirical-statistical thresholds are of crucial importance. The thresholds indicate the meteorological and hydrological conditions initiating landslides and are an affordable approach towards reducing people’s vulnerability to landslide hazards. This thesis defined different...doctoral thesis 2023

van Natijne, A.L. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Zieher, Thomas (author), Pfeiffer, Jan (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)Landslides are one of the major weather-related geohazards. To assess their potential impact and design mitigation solutions, a detailed understanding of the slope processes is required. Landslide modelling is typically based on data-rich geomechanical models. Recently, machine learning has shown promising results in modelling a variety of...journal article 2023

Chen, G. (author), Zhang, Ke (author), Wang, Sheng (author), Jia, T. (author)Physically-based hydrological-geotechnical modeling at large scales is difficult, especially due to the time-consuming nature of flow routing and 3D soil stability models. Although parallelization techniques are commonly used for each model individually, there is currently no concurrent parallelization strategy for both. This study proposed...journal article 2023

Debris-flow activity and sediment dynamics in the landslide-influenced Lattenbach catchment, AustriaAigner, Philipp (author), Kuschel, Erik (author), Sklar, Leonard (author), Zangerl, Christian (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), De Haas, Tjalling (author), Huebl, Johannes (author), Kaitna, Roland (author)Deep seated landslides are common phenomena in Alpine areas. In case of a direct connectivity with the channel system, the catchment' s sediment yield and the probability of other forms of mass wasting processes such as debris flows may be increased significantly. Up to now, sediment dynamics related to deep-seated landslides and debris flows...journal article 2023

Greco, Roberto (author), Marino, Pasquale (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)Occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides is increasing worldwide, owing to land use and climate changes. Although the connection between hydrology and rainfall-induced landslides might seem obvious, hydrological processes have been only marginally considered in landslide research for decades. In 2016, an advanced review paper published in...journal article 2023
