The mechanics of landslide mobility with erosion.

ABSTRACT: Erosion can significantly increase the destructive power of a landslide by amplifying its volume, mobility and impact force. The threat posed by an erosive landslide is linked to its mobility. No mechanical condition has yet been presented for when, how and how much energy erosive landslides gain or lose. Here, we pioneer a mechanical model for the energy budget of erosive landslides that controls enhanced or reduced mobility. Inertia is related to an entrainment velocity, is a fundamentally new understanding. This ascertains the true inertia of erosive landslides, making a breakthrough in correctly determining the landslide mobility. Erosion velocity, which regulates the energy budget, determines the enhanced or reduced mobility. Newly developed energy generator offers the first-ever mechanical quantification of erosional energy and a precise description of mobility. This addresses the long-standing question of why many erosive landslides generate higher mobility, while others reduce mobility. We demonstrate that erosion and entrainment are different processes. Landslides gain energy and enhance mobility if the erosion velocity exceeds the entrainment velocity. Energy velocity delineates distinct excess energy regimes. Newly introduced mobility scaling and erosion number deliver the explicit measure of mobility. Presented dynamical equations correctly include erosion induced net momentum production.

Quantitative assessment of the erosion and deposition effects of landslide-dam outburst flood, Eastern Himalaya.

Project description:Both regular flow and infrequent outburst floods shape the mountain landscape, but their relative contributions have been widely debated, in part due to the paucity of quantitative data on historical outburst floods. In June 2000, an outburst flood was triggered by a landslide-dam failure in a rapidly exhumed region of the Eastern Himalaya. To investigate the role of this kind outburst flood on landscape evolution, we employ topographic differencing, satellite imagery, and 2D hydraulic simulations to quantify the equivalent erosion and deposition within ~ 80 km flood route downstream of the breach. The flood lasted for ~ 10 h, with a peak discharge of 105 m3/s, leading to average erosion of 10 m, and contributed ~ 1-2 × 103 times more sediment than over long-term mean fluvial processes. The flood produced extensive lateral erosion, which triggered a threefold widening of the valley floor and abundant subsequent landslides. The ubiquitous boulder bars deposited in the channel inhibited incision, and facilitated lateral erosion after the flood. The resulting channel configuration and extensive bank erosion continue to affect fluvial dynamics until the next catastrophic flood that remobilizes the boulders. Our quantitative findings highlight the profound importance of recurrent outburst floods for gorge development and landscape evolution in Eastern Himalaya.

Long-term relationships among pesticide applications, mobility, and soil erosion in a vineyard watershed.

Project description:Agricultural pesticide use has increased worldwide during the last several decades, but the long-term fate, storage, and transfer dynamics of pesticides in a changing environment are poorly understood. Many pesticides have been progressively banned, but in numerous cases, these molecules are stable and may persist in soils, sediments, and ice. Many studies have addressed the question of their possible remobilization as a result of global change. In this article, we present a retro-observation approach based on lake sediment records to monitor micropollutants and to evaluate the long-term succession and diffuse transfer of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticide treatments in a vineyard catchment in France. The sediment allows for a reliable reconstruction of past pesticide use through time, validated by the historical introduction, use, and banning of these organic and inorganic pesticides in local vineyards. Our results also revealed how changes in these practices affect storage conditions and, consequently, the pesticides' transfer dynamics. For example, the use of postemergence herbicides (glyphosate), which induce an increase in soil erosion, led to a release of a banned remnant pesticide (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, DDT), which had been previously stored in vineyard soil, back into the environment. Management strategies of ecotoxicological risk would be well served by recognition of the diversity of compounds stored in various environmental sinks, such as agriculture soil, and their capability to become sources when environmental conditions change.

CAS Landslide Dataset: A Large-Scale and Multisensor Dataset for Deep Learning-Based Landslide Detection.

Project description:In this work, we present the CAS Landslide Dataset, a large-scale and multisensor dataset for deep learning-based landslide detection, developed by the Artificial Intelligence Group at the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The dataset aims to address the challenges encountered in landslide recognition. With the increase in landslide occurrences due to climate change and earthquakes, there is a growing need for a precise and comprehensive dataset to support fast and efficient landslide recognition. In contrast to existing datasets with dataset size, coverage, sensor type and resolution limitations, the CAS Landslide Dataset comprises 20,865 images, integrating satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle data from nine regions. To ensure reliability and applicability, we establish a robust methodology to evaluate the dataset quality. We propose the use of the Landslide Dataset as a benchmark for the construction of landslide identification models and to facilitate the development of deep learning techniques. Researchers can leverage this dataset to obtain enhanced prediction, monitoring, and analysis capabilities, thereby advancing automated landslide detection.

Landslide topology uncovers failure movements.

Project description:The death toll and monetary damages from landslides continue to rise despite advancements in predictive modeling. These models' performances are limited as landslide databases used in developing them often miss crucial information, e.g., underlying movement types. This study introduces a method of discerning landslide movements, such as slides, flows, and falls, by analyzing landslides' 3D shapes. By examining landslide topological properties, we discover distinct patterns in their morphology, indicating different movements including complex ones with multiple coupled movements. We achieve 80-94% accuracy by applying topological properties in identifying landslide movements across diverse geographical and climatic regions, including Italy, the US Pacific Northwest, Denmark, Turkey, and Wenchuan in China. Furthermore, we demonstrate a real-world application on undocumented datasets from Wenchuan. Our work introduces a paradigm for studying landslide shapes to understand their underlying movements through the lens of landslide topology, which could aid landslide predictive models and risk evaluations.

Multimodal method for landslide risk analysis.

Project description:Quantitative landslide risk analysis is a key step in creating appropriate land use policies. However, regional scale landslide hazard and risk studies are traditionally based on a single, infinite-slope style of failure, belying the differing consequences of a diverse range of failure modes. In this paper we expand an existing multimodal coseismic landslide hazard model to create a method for multimodal, multi-trigger quantitative landslide risk analysis and apply it to the country of Lebanon. •Physics-based, mode-specific models for coseismic and precipitation-induced landslides capture the effects of multiple failure types and triggering scenarios.•A new model for analyzing slope stability against rotational failures allows for efficient, regional scale assessments.•Open-source mapping of built-up area is used to identify elements at risk.

Effects of Daily Activities and Position on Kinematics and Contact Mechanics of Dual Mobility Hip Implant.

Project description:Dual mobility hip implants have been widely introduced to overcome dislocation in recent years. However, the potential influence of different gaits on kinematics and contact mechanics for dual mobility hip implants is still unclear. Furthermore, a large range of motion coupling with the implant position, especially high inclination or anteversion angle, may result in poor kinematics and contact mechanics. A previously developed dynamic finite element method was adopted in this study to examine the kinematics and corresponding stability of dual mobility hip implants under different gaits coupling with different inclinations or anteversion angles. The results showed only inner relative sliding under knee-bending for dual mobility hip implants under moderate inclination and anteversion angles, whereas an anteversion angle of 25° induced both impingement and consequent relative sliding of the outer articulation. However, the impingement (between the stem neck and the liner inner rim) indeed happened under stair-climbing and sitting-down/stand-up as well as combined movements when inclination and anteversion angles were set as 45° and 0°, respectively, and this finally led to relative sliding at the outer articulation. A high inclination angle did not worsen both the impingement and related outer sliding compared to modest inclination and anteversion angles of the liner, but a high anteversion angle prolonged the period of both the impingement and the outer relative sliding. The extreme motions and high anteversion angles are hardly inevitable, and they indeed lead to motions at both articulations for dual mobility hip implants.

Global connections between El Nino and landslide impacts.

Project description:El Nino is a critical part of global inter-annual climate variability, and the intensity of El Nino has major implications for rainfall-induced natural hazards in many vulnerable countries. The impact of landslides triggered by rainfall is likely to be modulated by the strength of El Nino, but the nature of this connection and the places where it is most relevant remains unconstrained. Here we combine new satellite rainfall data with a global landslide exposure model to show that El Nino has far-reaching effects on landslide impacts to people and infrastructure. We find that the impact of El Nino on landslide exposure can be greater in parts of Southeast Asia and Latin America than that due to seasonal rainfall variability. These findings improve our understanding of hazard variability around the world and can assist disaster mitigation efforts on seasonal timescales.

The importance of input data on landslide susceptibility mapping.

Project description:Landslide detection and susceptibility mapping are crucial in risk management and urban planning. Constant advance in digital elevation models accuracy and availability, the prospect of automatic landslide detection, together with variable processing techniques, stress the need to assess the effect of differences in input data on the landslide susceptibility maps accuracy. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the influence of variations in input data on landslide susceptibility mapping using a logistic regression approach. We produced 32 models that differ in (1) type of landslide inventory (manual or automatic), (2) spatial resolution of the topographic input data, (3) number of landslide-causing factors, and (4) sampling technique. We showed that models based on automatic landslide inventory present comparable overall prediction accuracy as those produced using manually detected features. We also demonstrated that finer resolution of topographic data leads to more accurate and precise susceptibility models. The impact of the number of landslide-causing factors used for calculations appears to be important for lower resolution data. On the other hand, even the lower number of causative agents results in highly accurate susceptibility maps for the high-resolution topographic data. Our results also suggest that sampling from landslide masses is generally more befitting than sampling from the landslide mass center. We conclude that most of the produced landslide susceptibility models, even though variable, present reasonable overall prediction accuracy, suggesting that the most congruous input data and techniques need to be chosen depending on the data quality and purpose of the study.

Cloud model-based evaluation of landslide dam development feasibility.

Project description:As natural backwater structures, landslide dams both threaten downstream human settlement or infrastructure and contain abundant hydro-energy and tourism resources, so research on their development feasibility is of great significance for permanently remedying them and effectively turning disasters into benefits. Through an analysis of the factors influencing landslide dam development and utilization, an index system (consisting of target, rule, and index layers) for evaluating development feasibility was constructed in this paper. Considering uncertainty and randomness in development feasibility evaluation, a cloud model-improved evaluation method was proposed to determine membership and score clouds based on the uncertainty reasoning of cloud model, and a cloud model-improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP-Cloud Model) was introduced to obtain weights. Final evaluation results were obtained using a hierarchical weighted summary. The improved method was applied to evaluate the Hongshiyan and Tangjiashan landslide dams and the results were compared with the maximum membership principle results. The results showed that the cloud model depicted the fuzziness and uncertainty in the evaluation process. The improved method proposed in this paper overcame the loss of fuzziness in the maximum membership principle evaluation results, and was capable of more directly presenting evaluation results. The development feasibility of the Hongshiyan landslide dam was relatively high, while that of the Tangjiashan landslide dam was relatively low. As suggested by these results, the evaluation model proposed in this paper has great significance for preparing a long-term management scheme for landslide dams.

The 2015 landslide and tsunami in Taan Fiord, Alaska.

Project description:Glacial retreat in recent decades has exposed unstable slopes and allowed deep water to extend beneath some of those slopes. Slope failure at the terminus of Tyndall Glacier on 17 October 2015 sent 180 million tons of rock into Taan Fiord, Alaska. The resulting tsunami reached elevations as high as 193 m, one of the highest tsunami runups ever documented worldwide. Precursory deformation began decades before failure, and the event left a distinct sedimentary record, showing that geologic evidence can help understand past occurrences of similar events, and might provide forewarning. The event was detected within hours through automated seismological techniques, which also estimated the mass and direction of the slide - all of which were later confirmed by remote sensing. Our field observations provide a benchmark for modeling landslide and tsunami hazards. Inverse and forward modeling can provide the framework of a detailed understanding of the geologic and hazards implications of similar events. Our results call attention to an indirect effect of climate change that is increasing the frequency and magnitude of natural hazards near glaciated mountains.
