Journal ArticleDOI
The effectiveness of airborne LiDAR data in the recognition of channel-bed morphology
TL;DR: In this article, the capability of airborne LiDAR-derived data in the recognition of channel-bed morphology was analyzed for a headwater catchment located in the Eastern Italian Alps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hillslope scale soil moisture variability in a steep alpine terrain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed space-time variability of soil moisture data collected at 0-6, 0-12 and 0-20 cm depth over three hillslopes with contrasting steep relief and shallow soil depth in the Dolomites (central-eastern Italian Alps).
Journal ArticleDOI
Geomorphic features extraction from high-resolution topography: landslide crowns and bank erosion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a high-resolution digital terrain model (DTMs) to detect the divergence/convergence of areas related to unchannelized/channelized processes with better detail than a coarse DTM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hillslope-to-valley transition morphology: new opportunities from high resolution DTMs.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used LiDAR-derived Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) with a spatial scale between 1 and 30m to find the optimal scale for observation of dominant landform processes in a headwater basin in the eastern Italian Alps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of topographic and climatic control on rainfall-triggered shallow landsliding using a quasi-dynamic wetness index
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the prediction of both topographic and climatic control on shallow landslide initiation processes in hilly mountainous terrain is proposed, which uses a quasi-dynamic wetness index to predict the spatial distribution of soil saturation in response to a rainfall of specified duration.
