Researchers in the U.S. have come up with a new method that could potentially predict underwater landslides before they ...

Below ocean wind farms, oil rigs and other offshore installations are mammoth networks of underwater structures, including ...

The new study, led by UC Santa Cruz geologist Noah Finnegan, used detailed data from two landslide sites in Northern California that researchers have identified and closely monitored for years.

Landslide stabilization efforts are likely to be costly as Buncombe County has sought to develop a model for major landslide ...

Engineers have developed a groundbreaking computational model to study the movement of granular materials such as soils, sands and powders. By integrating the dynamic interactions among particles, air ...

Unlike conventional models that often rely on oversimplified one-way coupling (e.g., static particles), PUA-DEM incorporates rigorous physical principles to govern the dynamic interactions among ...

The goal is to model the terrain and decide “is this ... that points to a “likelihood that the landslide will enlarge.” Conversely, if no movement is detected, it could be a sign that ...

The model worked just as well for landslides as it did for faults. The finding is an important breakthrough suggesting that a model designed for faults can also be used to predict landslide behavior.
