Participatory model assessment of earthquake-induced landslide hazard models
Miles, Scott - In: Natural Hazards 56 (2011) 3, pp. 749-766
The study described in this paper investigates the relative merits of two peer-reviewed earthquake-induced landslide models using participatory model assessment. The earthquake-induced landslide hazard models assessed are a simplified Newmark’s displacement model and a recently developed...

r.massmov: an open-source landslide model for dynamic early warning systems
Molinari, Monia; Cannata, Massimiliano; Meisina, Claudia - In: Natural Hazards 70 (2014) 2, pp. 1153-1179
This paper illustrates the main characteristics of the newly developed landslide model r.massmov, which is based on the shallow water equations, and is capable of simulating the landslide propagation over complex topographies. The model is the result of the reimplementation of the MassMov2D into...
