Landslides are caused by a failure of the mechanical balance within hillslopes. This balance is governed by two coupled physical processes: hydrological or subsurface flow and stress. The stabilizing strength of hillslope materials depends on effective stress, which is diminishe…

A cutting-edge quantitative approach to understanding hydro-mechanical processes behind rainfall-induced landslides, for graduate students, researchers and professionals.
Landslides occur when hillslopes become mechanically unstable, because of meteorological and geologic processes, and pose a serious threat to human environments in their proximity. The mechanical balance within hillslopes is governed by coupled physical processes: hydrologic or …
