Keywords: shallow landslides;progressive failure;catchment scale, rainfall
Rainfall-induced shallow landslides may occur abruptly without distinct precursors and could span a wide range of soil mass released during a triggering event. We present a rainfall-induced landslide-triggering model for steep catchments with surface....

Author(s): Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E.
Produced by: Delft University of Technology
Keywords: flood risk, urban, lowland
Urban flood risk analyses suffer from a lack of quantitative historical data on flooding incidents. Data collection takes place on an ad hoc basis and is usually restricted to severe events. The resulting data deficiency renders quantitative assessme....

Produced by: Utrecht University
Keywords: sediment transport, Rhine, dunes
Given my fascination for mountainous areas, it was a rather daring action to start a PhD research on lowland river dynamics, but I have never regretted the choice. Rivers, their landscapes, morphology and deposits turned out to be equally enthralling....
