Topographic features of source and transfer-deposition areas of long-travelling landslides induced by snowmelt

Response of snowmelt-driven loess landslides to climate change in Ten- zan, north-west China

“…The 1448 landslides in Niigata, Japan were triggered by abnormal warming during the snowmelt period from 2005 to 2006 (Akiyama et al,2006;Matsuura et al 2008). In recent years, some scholars had studied the impact of snowmelt on landslides (Nakazato et al, 2013;Kimura et al, 2016;Miao et al, 2019). Many studies showed that snowmelt was the main contributor to landslide disasters in frozen areas (Matsuura et al, 2013;Subramanian et al, 2020), and the occurrence of landslides were strongly linked to the gradual buildup of a snowmelt-generated perched water table within the slope (Ishikawa & Miura, 2011;Mori et al, 2017).…”

Three-Dimensional Numerical Investigation on the Seepage Field and Stability of Soil Slope Subjected to Snowmelt Infiltration

“…This issue is particularly significant for ensuring the safe operation and maintenance of the high-speed railways constructed in Northeast China, which is a typical seasonally cold region [9][10][11]. While some studies have reported on the occurrence of cutting slope failures due to snowmelt infiltration during the construction of high-speed railways [12], the majority of studies have been restricted to investigating the stability of soil slopes subjected to rainfall [13][14][15][16][17] and those within permafrost regions [7,18]. the majority of studies have been restricted to investigating the stability of soil slopes subjected to rainfall [13][14][15][16][17] and those within permafrost regions [7,18].…”

Moreover, the limited efforts focused on exploring the stability of soil slopes under the influence of snowmelt infiltration have relied typically on two-dimensional (2D) numerical analyses [3,5,7].…”
