The spatial influence characteristics of reservoir water level need further analysis. To do so, we used multi-temporal InSAR monitoring technology with the Sentinel-1A images acquired between 2017 and 2019 to generate hillslope deformation time series data at the front edge of the Three Gorges Reservoir area. By conducting Pearson correlation coefficient analysis on the deformation and reservoir water level, it was found that in space, the slope units closer to the reservoir have a more significant response to the negative correlation with the reservoir water level: Within 2 km of the reservoir, the response relationship is the best, gradually weaken in turn, and is almost marginal at and beyond about 7 km. Meanwhile, the analysis between seasonal rainfall and relative deformation also reflects that the reservoir water level is the main controlling factor of hillslope deformation in the reservoir area. In short, the reservoir water level parameter does not have spatial attributes that are reflected in space using the Pearson correlation coefficient, supplementing a new reference index for stability analysis of landslides in the reservoir area, which is of great value for risk analysis in the reservoir area.</p>","PeriodicalId":17938,"journal":{"name":"Landslides","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing machine learning-based automated mapping methods exist, they have limited transferability due to low availability of training data and the inability to handle out-of-distribution scenarios. This study introduces ML-CASCADE, a user-friendly open-source tool designed for real-time landslide mapping. It is a semi-automated tool that requires the user to create landslide and non-landslide samples using pre- and post-landslide Sentinel-2 imagery to train a machine learning model. The model training features include Sentinel-2 data, terrain data, vegetation indices, and bare soil index. ML-CASCADE is developed as an easy-to-use application on top of Google Earth Engine and supports both pixel and object-based classification methods. We validate the landslide extent developed using ML-CASCADE with independent expert-developed inventories. ML-CASCADE is not only able to identify the landslide extent accurately but can also map a complex cluster of landslides within 5 min and a simple landslide within 2 min.

These events serve as notable examples of large-scale ice-rock avalanche chain disasters in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Integrating multi-source data including remote sensing imaging, meteorological records, and glacier field observations, the geological and climatic characteristics of recurring ice-rock avalanches were characterized. A comprehensive study of the dynamic glacial changes in the region using multiple approaches, including offset-tracking and support vector machine classification, reveals the underlying triggering mechanisms and spatio-temporal evolution of the ice-rock avalanches. To investigate the possible impact of seismic events on the occurrence of repeated ice-rock avalanches, we performed a time-series analysis of the avalanche-prone mass to assess disaster risk. The results suggest that ice-rock avalanches in Amney Machen are caused by long-term climate warming, short-term meteorological fluctuations, glacier retreats, and patterns of ablation rather than earthquakes. Regional warming has culminated in glacier melt and de-buttressing, while freeze–thaw cycles have caused the propagation of stress crevasses and the deterioration of the ice-rock masses. Meltwater and rainfall introduce external driving forces to the ice-rock system, acting to lubricate and soften the bedrock and accelerate glacier sliding. The glacier’s ablation pattern, characterized by significant thinning at its lower part and slight thinning or even localized thickening at the top, has further heightened the hazard of glacial disasters.

The storm, triggered by a low-pressure system, led to unprecedented rainfall, causing extensive flooding and erosion in the region. Despite limited pre-flood data, the study employs aerial and satellite imagery, digital elevation models, and field surveys to quantify sediment mobilization and its effects on the Viévola alluvial fan in the Roya Valley. The Roya Valley’s complex geomorphology, characterized by steep gradients, gullies, and torrential streams, played a significant role in sediment transport. The study reveals that the Dente and Rabay torrents were major sediment contributors, with gullies in these areas producing substantial erosion. Bank erosion in the Dente valley was particularly prominent, attributed to geological factors and glacial deposits. The analysis, relying on topographical comparisons and digital data, assesses sediment volumes eroded and deposited during the event. Despite challenges in data quality, the study offers valuable insights into sediment dynamics during extreme hydro-sedimentary events. The Viévola catchment area is a focal point, emphasizing the importance of scree and fluvio-glacial deposits as primary sources of sediment. The findings emphasize the need for improved pre-event data and monitoring in mountainous regions susceptible to extreme events. The study’s methodology, despite limitations, contributes to a better understanding of geomorphic responses to extreme events. Expanding similar studies to cover a wider range of catchment areas and incorporating field data offers potential for enhanced hazard assessment and management strategies.

However, due to challenges in actual field landslide investigations, current landslide susceptibility mapping is usually characterized by insufficient landslide samples (positive samples) and low reliability of non-landslide samples (negative samples). Considering Lianghe County in Yunnan Province, China, as an example, this paper aims to research the effectiveness of three oversampling models in generating positive samples for landslides: Conditional Tabular Generative Adversarial Networks (CTGAN), Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), and the traditional Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) algorithms. Additionally, three machine learning methods, including 1D Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (CNN-LSTM), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) classifiers, are used for landslide susceptibility assessment. We also devise a non-landslide data (negative samples) screening method utilizing a self-trained support vector machine within a semi-supervised framework. The results show that by training on the dataset after negative sample screening, the AUC values for the 1D-CNN-LSTM, RF, and GBDT models have shown significant improvement, increasing from (0.778, 0.869, 0.849) to (0.837, 0.936, 0.877). Compared with the original training set, the prediction accuracy of the three machine learning models is improved after training on the augmented data by CTGAN, GAN, and SMOTE models. The RF model, augmented with 200 positive samples generated by CTGAN, achieves the highest prediction accuracy in the study (AUC = 0.962). The 1D CNN-LSTM model achieves its highest prediction accuracy (AUC = 0.953) when augmented with 200 positive samples from GAN. Similarly, the GBDT model reaches its highest prediction accuracy (AUC = 0.928) when augmented with 200 positive samples created by SMOTE.

In this study, we compiled a database of non-seismic fatal landslides in China from 2010 to 2022 to examine their spatiotemporal distribution and relationship with precipitation. From 2010 to 2022, China experienced a total of 710 fatal landslide events, causing 5158 fatalities. The data revealed a declining trend in both the number of fatal landslides and associated fatalities, with the number of fatal landslides demonstrating a recurring cycle of 3–4 years marked by continuous decreases within each cycle. The initial year of a new cycle witnessed a significant increase in the number of fatal landslides, suggesting a periodic occurrence, which is related to El Niño. The central subtropical humid region recorded the highest number of fatal landslide events, attributed to its highest annual precipitation. The trend in fatal landslides closely corresponded with variations in precipitation, increasing in spring and summer and decreasing in autumn and winter. The cumulative frequency distributions of fatal landslides and fatalities followed a power-law distribution, with a sharp decline observed when exceeding a certain value, indicating a deflection effect. Despite the low population density, the plateau climate region has the highest risk of life loss among all climate regions.

Further, a damage evolution model based on the log-logistic function is derived to characterize the damage evolution process of slip zone soil, and a new shear constitutive model based on the damage evolution process is subsequently proposed. Both the damage evolution model and the shear constitutive model are verified by the ring shear test data of the slip zone soil from the Outang landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China.

This study aims to provide new data on the processes involved in the transport and emplacement mechanisms of debris avalanches based on a detailed granulometric and microtextural characterization and numerical modeling. In general, T-VDAD exhibited massive dynamic behavior during its transport, without segregation process, although some variation of the grains-size occurs from proximal to distal reaches from the source. At microscopic level, evidence suggests particle–particle interactions of rapid, high-energy, high velocity collisional nature, promoting comminution, which increases the fines content with distance. The general high content of fine material into the T-VDAD, combined with a significant water content within the mass before the collapse, due to partial edifice saturation, may have contributed to enhance its mobility. The T-VDAD mobility is here tested with the Titan2d numerical model; results show important paleo-topography implications and that the Coulomb frictional model with basal friction angles similar to previously tested cases best fits the areal propagation of the T-VDAD, confirming that, despite the fluid content that enhanced downslope transformation, the flow still behaved as a homogeneous and incompressible continuum with energy dissipation concentrated within its base.</p>","PeriodicalId":17938,"journal":{"name":"Landslides","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
