  1. 1. Statistical Evaluation and Modelling of Landslide Initiation Points in Western Norway

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Tim Starke; [2020]
    Keywords : landslide; landslide modelling; debris flow; Norway; fuzzy logic; GIS; susceptibility; hazard; geohazard; natural disaster; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Norge drabbas årligen av hundratals jordskred vilket leder till betydande ekonomisk skada och fara för liv. Därför bedriver norska myndigheter och forskningsinstitutioner omfattande forskning om jordskred och vidtar åtgärder för att övervaka, modellera och slutligen mildra konsekvenserna av och förebygga dessa.

  3. 2. The potential use of S-HYPE in the work of predicting landslides

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Sara Edvardsson; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Landslides are expensive for the community as it causes changes to for example infrastructure, changes in land used for cultivation and can also result in loss of life. Climate change will in the future introduce higher amounts of precipitation in Sweden, which increases the risks of landslides, as groundwater levels will increase. READ MORE

  4. 3. Shallow landslide susceptibility : modelling and validation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Edgar Pimiento Chamorro; [2010]
    Keywords : landslide susceptibility; weights of evidence; logistic regression; ROC plot AUC; validation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Rainfall frequently triggers shallow landslides in mountainous areas worldwide. Landslide susceptibility maps express the probability of occurrence of landslides based on terrain conditions; they are useful for disaster prevention and land use planning. READ MORE

  5. 4. The application of GIS-based binary logistic regression for slope failure susceptibility mapping in the Western Grampian Mountains, Scotland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Anthony Lawther; [2008]
    Keywords : slope failure; landslides; debris flow; susceptibility; binary logistic regression; GIS; Scotland; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Slope failure has resulted in significant disruption to the Scottish road network in recent years and failure processes are widely considered to pose a very real risk to both infrastructure and road users. The manifestation of proposed regional climate variations could increase the hazard posed by landslide and debris flow activity within upland environments. READ MORE
