TL;DR: Data from this study show that there is excellent inter- and intra- rater reliability and inter-rater agreement for curve type and each modifier and the high degree of reliability demonstrates that applying the classification system is easy and consistent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the causes and effects of landslide mobility and its impacts on a disastrous landslide that occurred on 22 March 2014 near Oso, Washington, USA, following a long period of abnormally wet weather.

TL;DR: In this article, the initiation conditions for six debris flows between May 2004 and July 2006 in a 0.3 km2 drainage basin at Chalk Cliffs; a band of hydrothermally-altered quartz monzonite in central Colorado was monitored.

TL;DR: Bromhead et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the seasonal variability in landslide velocities in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado and found that surface water is more important than landslide temperature in controlling the rate of landslide movement, and that any infiltration of water at the surface of the landslide is adequate to rapidly increase landslide velocity.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple one-dimensional morphodynamic model of a sediment capacitor was proposed to predict the watershed threshold for debris flow initiation in a burned or alpine setting, and the model reproduces the essential patterns in surge magnitude and frequency with rainfall intensity observed at the two field sites and provides a new framework for predicting the runoff threshold.
