4. 23. 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
