Landslides triggered by Hurricane Mitch in Guatemala -- inventory and discussion
The torrential rains that accompanied
Hurricane Mitch in October and November
of 1998 triggered thousands of landslides in
the moderate to steep terrain bordering the
Motagua and Polochic Rivers in eastern
Guatemala. Using aerial photographs taken
between January and March 2000 we
mapped all visible landslides larger than
about 15 m in minimum dimension in a
study area of 10,000 km2 encom

Debris-flow and flooding hazards associated with the December 1999 storm in coastal Venezuela and strategies for mitigation
Heavy rainfall from the storm of December 14-16, 1999 triggered thousands of landslides on steep slopes of the Sierra de Avila north of Caracas, Venezuela. In addition to landslides, heavy rainfall caused flooding and massive debris flows that damaged coastal communities in the State of Vargas along the Caribbean Sea. Examination of the rainfall pattern obtained from the GOES-8 satellite showed th

Remote rainfall sensing for landslide hazard analysis
Methods of assessing landslide hazards and providing warnings are becoming more advanced as remote sensing of rainfall provides more detailed temporal and spatial data on rainfall distribution. Two recent landslide disasters are examined noting the potential for using remotely sensed rainfall data for landslide hazard analysis. For the June 27, 1995, storm in Madison County, Virginia, USA, Nationa

Catastrophic debris flows transformed from landslides in volcanic terrains : mobility, hazard assessment and mitigation strategies
Communities in lowlands near volcanoes are vulnerable to significant volcanic flow hazards in addition to those associated directly with eruptions. The largest such risk is from debris flows beginning as volcanic landslides, with the potential to travel over 100 kilometers. Stratovolcanic edifices commonly are hydrothermal aquifers composed of unstable, altered rock forming steep slopes at high al
