Identification of the affected areas by mass movement through a physically based model of landslide hazard combined with an empirical model of debris flow
Gomes, Roberto; Guimarães, Renato; Carvalho, Osmar; … - In: Natural Hazards 45 (2008) 2, pp. 197-209
In tropical areas, mass movements are common phenomena, especially during periods of heavy rainfall, which frequently take place in the summer season. These phenomena have caused loss of life and serious damage to infrastructure and properties. The most prominent of these phenomena are...
