Abstract

The characterisation of precipitation conditions for triggering of landslides is a key component in the design and implementation of early-warning systems and in the estimation of hazard maps for current and future climate scenarios. Physical modelling of those triggering conditions may be usually feasible for individual slopes, but not for local or regional scales, where practical difficulties generally arise due to the lack of estimates of spatially distributed hydraulic and mechanical parameters, and to complexities of ground …
