TL;DR: In this article , the authors used two different datasets to analyze the potential of U-Net and machine learning approaches for automated landslide detection in the Himalayas, and they used a small dataset consisting of 239 samples acquired from several training zones and one testing zone to evaluate their models' performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that metalaxyl-resistant strains of Phytophthora infestans were the major source of the early and severe late blight epidemic in 1981 in the Netherlands.

TL;DR: The ScienceBase Community as discussed by the authors is a centralized ground failure inventory repository for earthquake-triggered ground failure data with the goal of accelerating the development of robust and widely applicable ground failure models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used piezometers in three hollows of the upper Tikovil River basin to measure pore water pressure from the beginning of the storm that persisted through the time of occurrence of shallow landslides.

TL;DR: A review of the use of remote sensing and GIS for a number of major disaster types is given in this article, where the authors show that the economic losses due to natural disasters have shown an increase with a factor of eight over the past four decades, caused by the increased vulnerability of the global society, due to population growth, urbanisation, poor urban planning, and an increase in the number of weather-related disasters.
