Forecasting the time of failure of landslides at slope-scale is a difficult yet important task that
can mitigate the effects of slope failures in terms of both human lives and economic losses …

The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

We demonstrate the potential of satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to
identify precursors to catastrophic slope failures. To date, early-warning has mostly relied on …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Landslide prediction is important for mitigating geohazards but is very challenging. In
landslide evolution, displacement depends on the local geological conditions and variations …

Concepts, methods and techniques of statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as
uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences …

Polymers and polymer composites are negatively impacted by environmental ageing,
reducing their service lifetimes. The uncertainty of the material interaction with the …

▪ Abstract Field observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical analyses indicate that
landslides mobilize to form debris flows by three processes:(a) widespread Coulomb failure …

This manuscript presents a review on the application of a remote sensing technique
(terrestrial laser scanning, TLS) to a well‐known topic (rock slope characterization and …

An evidently precursory acoustic emission (AE) time series, characterized by a time‐
reversed Omori law, is registered prior to the unconfined catastrophic rupture of brittle …
