This book was released on 2002-07-12 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides are a component of those agents of nature that transport rock and soil from mountains or hillsides to streams, lakes and seas, where new sedimentary rocks begin to form. Therefore, as well as destructive forces that can be induced by human activity, landslides are part of the earth's natural cyclic process of uplift, erosion, and sedimentation. With the growth of human population and the increasing habitation of ever-steeper slopes and higher altitudes, Man is both experiencing the effects of landslides and causing landslides with increasing frequency. These adverse effects include loss of life, injury, and damage to public and private works, as well as environmental damage. Accordingly, it is an opportune time to address the hazard posed by landslides, and to assess strategies to mitigate that hazard. Assessment of Proposed Partnerships to Implement a National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy: Interim Reports is an interim statement addressing the U.S. Geological Survey's proposal for a national landslide hazards mitigation strategy. The scope of this interim report is constrained to assessing whether all the partners necessary for such a national strategy have been identified by the proposal-conclusions and recommendations to address the remainder of the statement of task will be presented in the committee's final report (e.g., will include comments regarding effective partnership implementation; funding strategies required for an effective mitigation program; and the balance between different components of a national strategy). In addition, in this interim report the committee offers a number of comments intended as interim guidance for the U.S. Geological Survey as it continues to plan a national strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frequency and severity of shallow landslides in New Zealand threatens life and property, on- and off-site. The physically-based shallow landslide model LAPSUS-LS is tested for its performance in simulating shallow landslide locations induced by a high intensity rain event. Furthermore the effect of DEM resolution on the performance was tested. The performance of the model was optimized by calibrating different parameter values. A satisfactory result was achieved at 1 m resolution. Landslides were generally predicted lower on the slope than mapped erosion scars. This discrepancy could be due to inaccuracies in the DEM or in model input data such as soil strength properties; or due to relevant processes for this environmental context that are not included in the model. The trade-off between a correct prediction of landslides versus stable cells becomes increasingly worse with coarser resolutions; and model performance decreases mainly due to altering slope characteristics. The optimal parameter combinations differ per resolution. In this environmental context the 1 m resolution topography seems to resembles reality most closely and landslide locations are better distinguished from stables areas than for coarser resolutions. More gain in model performance could be achieved by adding complexities and parameter heterogeneity in the catchment.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the application of airborne and surface geophysical remote sensing to the study of a prehistoric landslide on the tephra-mantled coastline, south of Port Waikato at Ohuka, North Island, New Zealand. The landslide morphology includes an arcuate headscarp, lateral scarps, back-tilted blocks, and pull-apart zones, incised by post-failure gullying. The toe of the landslide has been removed by coastal erosion, so the original down-slope extent of the landslide is unknown. The project also involved an initial desk study, field surveys, and laboratory analyses in order to provide detailed information about the nature and extent of the landslide in the area. The airborne remote sensing utilised an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounted camera to provide a high resolution image dataset. The imagery was then processed and modelled using the structure-from-motion (SfM) technique, to provide a digital elevation model (DEM) of the landslide, comparable with LiDAR in quality. The subsurface of the landslide was investigated using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), to provide insights into the stratigraphy and present hydrogeological conditions. In situ logging of exposures and strength testing of materials allowed ground-truthing of geophysical data, and samples were further investigated in the laboratory using strength index properties. Sensitive clay materials were identified and characterised using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Finally, numerical modelling provided insights into the initial prehistoric failure mode, and the calculated factors of safety (FoS) suggest current stability at the site. It is clear from the results of this study that in order to determine the process-mechanics of prehistoric landslides in these types of clay-dominated terrains, a combination of techniques should be used. Such coastal landslides, on the Waikato and Bay of Plenty coasts, do not have existing toe deposits, due to Holocene transgression, but they do exhibit distinct features that allow failure mechanics to be determined and reconstructed. In particular, the method of UAV-SfM remote sensing coupled with electrical resistivity tomography described in this thesis represents a rapid method of terrain evaluation and landslide hazard assessment, which can be undertaken prior to more costly borehole investigations.
