A prototype system for space–time assessment of rainfall-induced shallow landslides in Italy
Montrasio, Lorella; Valentino, Roberto; Corina, Angela; … - In: Natural Hazards 74 (2014) 2, pp. 1263-1290
In the last decades, physically based distributed models turned out rather promising to achieve the space–time assessment of shallow landslides at large spatial scale. This technical note deals with the application of a physically based stability model named Shallow Landslides Instability...

Comparing Landslide Hazard Maps
Westen, C. Van; Seijmonsbergen, A.; Mantovani, F. - In: Natural Hazards 20 (1999) 2, pp. 137-158
The objective of the method explained in this paper isto obtain a better insight in the decision rulesapplied by geomorphologists in the direct mapping oflandslide hazard. This can be obtained by forcinggeomorphologists to specify for each unit (polygon) intheir hazard map the criteria that they...
