TL;DR: A review of landslide-climate studies can be found in this paper, where the authors examine advantages and limits of the approaches adopted to evaluate the effects of climate variations on landslides, including prospective modelling and retrospective methods that use landslide and climate records.

TL;DR: The most recent papers published in scientific journals are reviewed, highlighting significant advances and critical issues and the definition of standard procedures for the identification of rainfall events and for the objective definition of the thresholds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used landslide information obtained from multiple sources and rainfall data captured by 2228 rain gauges to build a catalogue of 2309 rainfall events with shallow landslides in Italy between January 1996 and February 2014, and determined the corresponding rainfall duration D (in hours) and cumulated event rainfall E (in mm).

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical analysis of nine main assumptions that form the rationale for landslide forecasting and early warning is performed, and the authors conclude that operational forecast of weather-induced landslides is feasible, and it can help reduce landslide risk.

TL;DR: In this paper, a catalogue of 200 rainfall conditions that have resulted in at least 223 shallow landslides in Sicily, southern Italy, in the 11-year period 2002-2011, was exploited to determine regional event duration-cumulated event rainfall (ED) thresholds for shallow landslide occurrence.
