and water quality in major shipping arteries and will include a system to predict the impact of offshore earthquakes tsunamis storm surge and underwater landslides.
Landslides and ground subsidence are serious problems across Europe and their costs are underestimated largely, according to Fausto Guzzetti of Italy National Research Council,
Examples include landslides riverbank erosion and melting permafrost; and the human contribution can arise from activities such as mining, large construction works or water extraction for irrigation.
Demand for DORIS Landslides are natural events that shape landscapes. However, they come with a huge cost, both social and economic.
In Italy alone, landslides have caused over 5000 deaths and displaced more than 150 000 people during the last 50 years, at an estimated economic cost of#2 billion annually.
Thanks to the project, civil protection authorities and landslide investigators have access to information that was simply not available previously,
Smaller landslides occur more frequently than larger ones. By organizing itself around a so-called critical state the pile maintains its original height
That landslide enabled by steep slopes and a slick ice layer creates the DLES telltale two-layered appearance.
A key ingredient The landslide scenario explains several of the distinct features of DLES the researchers say.
Striations are common in landslides On earth Weiss says especially landslides on glaciers. That got Weiss
I realized that the landslide wouldn be expected to happen (on crater rims) unless the ejecta was landsliding on an ice layer Weiss says.
Craters larger than about 25 kilometers probably wouldn have steep enough rims to cause an icy landslide.
and 240-ton mining truck to a large open-pit mining operation in the western United states. The mine recently experienced a series of landslides.
-and landslide-triggered tsunamis in Alpine lakes. In the past decade researchers have discovered that tsunamis wiped out villages along the shores of both Lake Geneva and Lake Lucerne in the past 1, 500 years.
Between the crowded population, rocky terrain, steep hills that often give way to landslides, and the periodic floods, the locals have had to resort to energy-inefficient terrace farming.
Whether they're floods, earthquakes or landslides, natural disasters have a nasty habit of cutting survivors off from aid by destroying bridges.
