Application of alternating decision tree with AdaBoost and bagging ensembles for landslide susceptibility mapping
Yanli Wu,Yutian Ke,Zhuo Chen,Shouyun Liang,Hongliang Zhao,Haoyuan Hong,Haoyuan Hong,Haoyuan Hong +7 more
TL;DR: To map landslide susceptibility using Alternating decision tree (ADTree) as well as GIS-based new ensemble techniques involving ADTree with bootstrap aggregation (Bagging) and AD tree with adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) to select the best model, the two ensemble models proposed prohibited better performance than the ADTree model did.

Distribution and characteristics of landslide in Loess Plateau: A case study in Shaanxi province
TL;DR: In this article, Wang et al. found that 79% of the landslides are shallower than 10m, 85% have a volume of less than 100,000m3, and the equivalent coefficient of friction of loess landslides is very low resulting in long run-out with a low angle sliding surface.

Xuanmei Fan,C. Hsein Juang,Janusz Wasowski,Runqiu Huang,Qiang Xu,Gianvito Scaringi,Cees J. van Westen,Hans-Balder Havenith +7 more
TL;DR: A short review of the recent advances in these topics, discuss the challenges faced in the earthquake-related geo-hazards mitigation practice, and suggest priorities and guidelines for future research as discussed by the authors.

Laboratory characterization of rainfall-induced loess slope failure
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper performed a numerical analysis of unsaturated seepage in loess slopes because of rainfall infiltration and observed that landslide development began with local failure in the toe slope that gradually retreated toward the crown, forming a multi-sliding displacement, and eventually resulting in total slope failure.

Groundwater quality assessment for domestic and agricultural purposes in Yan’an City, northwest China: implications to sustainable groundwater quality management on the Loess Plateau
TL;DR: In this article, the suitability of groundwater for domestic and agricultural purposes in Yan'an City on the Chinese Loess Plateau and to assess its implications to sustainable groundwater management on the plateau were investigated.

Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of debris flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model that satisfies most of these criteria uses depth-averaged equations of motion patterned after those of the Savage-Hutter theory for gravity-driven flow of dry granular masses but generalized to include the effects of viscous pore fluid with varying pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landslide triggering by rain infiltration
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model that uses reduced forms of the Richards equation to evaluate the effects of rainfall infiltration on landslide occurrence, timing, depth, and acceleration in diverse situations is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the classification of landslides of the flow type
TL;DR: In this paper, a new division of landslide materials is proposed, based on genetic and morphological aspects rather than arbitrary grain-size limits, which would allow the terms to be retained with their original meanings while making their application less ambiguous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Debris-flow mobilization from landslides
TL;DR: In this article, a review emphasizes models in which debris behavior evolves in response to changing pore pressures and granular temperatures, and quantifies how pore pressure and temperature can influence the behavior of debris flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical Relationships for Debris Flows
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview is given of empirical relationships that can be used to estimate the most important parameters of debris-flow behavior, including peak discharge, the mean flow velocity, the total travel distance, and the runout distance on the fan.
