Download or read book Landslides - Disaster Risk Reduction written by Kyoji Sassa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-27 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the First World Landslide Forum, which was jointly organized by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), eight UN organizations (UNESCO, WMO, FAO, UN/ISDR, UNU, UNEP, World Bank, UNDP) and four NGOs (International Council for Science, World Federation of Engineering Organizations, Kyoto Univ. and Japan Landslide Society) in Tokyo in 2008. The material consists of four parts: The Open Forum "Progress of IPL Activities; Four Thematic Lectures in the Plenary Symposium "Global Landslide Risk Reduction"; Six Keynote Lectures in the Plenary session; and the aims and overviews of eighteen parallel sessions (dealing with various aspects necessary for landslide disaster risk reduction such as: observations from space; climate change and slope instability; landslides threatening heritage sites; the economic and social impact of landslides; monitoring, prediction and early warning; and risk-management strategies in urban area, etc.) Thus it enables the reader to benefit from a wide range of research intended to reduce risk due to landslide disasters as presented in the first global multi-disciplinary meeting.

Download or read book Statistical Approaches for Landslide Susceptibility Assessment and Prediction written by Sujit Mandal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the spatial distribution of landslide hazards of the Darjeeling Himalayas. Knowledge driven methods and statistical techniques such as frequency ratio model (FRM), information value model (IVM), logistic regression model (LRM), index overlay model (IOM), certainty factor model (CFM), analytical hierarchy process (AHP), artificial neural network model (ANN), and fuzzy logic have been adopted to identify landslide susceptibility. In addition, a comparison between various statistical models were made using success rate cure (SRC) and it was found that artificial neural network model (ANN), certainty factor model (CFM) and frequency ratio based fuzzy logic approach are the most reliable statistical techniques in the assessment and prediction of landslide susceptibility in the Darjeeling Himalayas. The study identified very high, high, moderate, low and very low landslide susceptibility locations to take site-specific management options as well as to ensure developmental activities in theDarjeeling Himalayas. Particular attention is given to the assessment of various geomorphic, geotectonic and geohydrologic attributes that help to understand the role of different factors and corresponding classes in landslides, to apply different models, and to monitor and predict landslides. The use of various statistical and physical models to estimate landslide susceptibility is also discussed. The causes, mechanisms and types of landslides and their destructive character are elaborated in the book. Researchers interested in applying statistical tools for hazard zonation purposes will find the book appealing.

Download or read book Landslide Hazard and Climate Change in the Mountain Glacial Environment of Northwest North America written by Madison Reid and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this thesis was to improve the understanding of the complex interactions between climate change and landslide behavior in the periglacial mountain environment of northwest North America. In particular, this thesis quantified the relationship between climate change (temperature, precipitation, and glacier change) and landslide behavior (magnitude, frequency, and distribution). To achieve this larger aim, four specific research objectives were established: (a) Determine changes in the frequency and distribution of landslides in glacial regions of northwest North America by developing a landslide inventory; (b) Quantify climate change factors, specifically trends in temperature and precipitation; (c) Assess changes in glacier ice area and volume in northwest North America; and (d) Establish a quantitative relationship between climate change, glacier ice loss, and change in landslide hazard. Changes in the frequency and distribution of large (>1Mm3) catastrophic landslides in the mountain glacial environment were determined by developing a regional landslide inventory (Evans and Delaney, Unpublished). The landslide inventory was explored using a magnitude-frequency plot, and results showed that seismically triggered landslides had proportionally fewer large events than non-seismically triggered landslides, highlighting the importance of climate related triggers in large events. Also, the frequency of landslides was determined to be increasing over time, especially at high latitudes (>57 degrees N). Climate change analysis was completed using meteorological station data and trend testing (i.e., Mann-Kendall, Sen's slope) to develop indices showing temperature and precipitation change. Results show ubiquitous warming (particularly in winter and summer), as well as increasingly dry conditions in Alaska, Yukon, and northern British Columbia, with wetter conditions in central and southern British Columbia. Index results were correlated with landslide mass hypsometrically, showing strong statistical evidence (i.e., Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test) of a connection between increasing temperature and increasing landslide hazard. Precipitation was not correlated with landslide hazard with certainty. Glacier ice loss was assessed using a case study of Mount Meager Volcanic Complex (MMVC), which showed drastic reduction of ice area and volume in response to increased temperature and precipitation. Two major landslides at MMCV (1975/2010) have been found to be triggered by the aforementioned climate factors (increased temperature and precipitation leading to ice loss).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographic Information Systems for Geoscientists: Modelling with GIS provides an introduction to the ideas and practice of GIS to students and professionals from a variety of geoscience backgrounds. The emphasis in the book is to show how spatial data from various sources (principally paper maps, digital images and tabular data from point samples) can be captured in a GIS database, manipulated, and transformed to extract particular features in the data, and combined together to produce new derived maps, that are useful for decision-making and for understanding spatial interrelationship. The book begins by defining the meaning, purpose, and functions of GIS. It then illustrates a typical GIS application. Subsequent chapters discuss methods for organizing spatial data in a GIS; data input and data visualization; transformation of spatial data from one data structure to another; and the combination, analysis, and modeling of maps in both raster and vector formats. This book is intended as both a textbook for a course on GIS, and also for those professional geoscientists who wish to understand something about the subject. Readers with a mathematical bent will get more out of the later chapters, but relatively non-numerate individuals will understand the general purpose and approach, and will be able to apply methods of map modeling to clearly-defined problems.
