Predicting landslides from rainfall in a humid, sub-tropical region

Spatial patterns of old, deep-seated landslides: A case-study in the northern Ethiopian highlands

“…Temple and Rapp, 1972;Moeyersons, 1981Moeyersons, , 1989Moeyersons, , 2001Moeyersons, , 2003Garland and Olivier, 1993;Davies, 1996;Ayonghe et al, 1999Ayonghe et al, , 2004Ngecu and Ichang'I, 1999;Ngecu and Mathu, 1999;Bell and Maud, 2000;Ibe and Ebe, 2000;Temesgen et al, 2001;Nyssen et al, 2003;Moeyersons et al, 2004Moeyersons et al, , 2008Ngecu et al, 2004;Knapen et al, 2006;Claessens et al, 2007;Zogning et al, 2007). With the exception of the paper by Claessens et al (2007) all these studies present casestudies of fatal and destructive landslides, descriptive analyses of the causal factors and consequences, or statistical analyses of rainfall events that triggered landslides.…”

Landslide inventorization and susceptibility mapping in South Africa

“…This was modified and updated by Garland and Olivier (1993) and revised by Paige-Green and Croukamp (2004), taking additional factors such as lithology and climate into account. These maps are generalized and merely highlight qualitatively the relative landslide incidence and thus hazard susceptibility at a regional scale.…”

Human activity and damaging landslides and floods on Madeira Island

“…The usefulness of historical records in dating the occurrence of ancient and recent landslide events has been demonstrated by many authors (Garland and Oliver, 1993;Brunsden et al, 1995;Chandler and Brunsden, 1995;Ibsen and Brunsden, 1996), and many scientists all over the world have used written accounts or proxy data for the analysis of hazardous flood events (Barnikel and Becht, 2003;Barriendos et al, 2002;Coeur et al, 1998;Stedinger and Cohn, 1986;Sutcliffe, 1987).…”
