Unified modelling framework of flowslide triggering and runout

Yanni Chen et al.

Summary: Hydro-mechanical forces can trigger ground failure, such as flowslides, by altering the pore water pressure regime. However, the use of constitutive models for soils to quantify the likelihood of liquefaction is usually limited to triggering analyses, and the quantification of runout distance and velocity often requires computationally expensive models based on rheological laws for fluids. This paper proposes a low computational cost modeling framework that allows for the use of soil constitutive models in the analysis of the entire life cycle of a flowslide, enabling a seamless transition from the triggering to the runout stage.

Regional-scale simulation of flowslide triggering in stratified deposits

Xiang Li et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the performance of a spatially-distributed model aimed at capturing distinct landslide triggering mechanisms in layered deposits. The model relies on simultaneous computation of multiple factors of safety, solving pore pressure transients, and considering vertical heterogeneity, while dramatically reducing computational cost. The model shows good performance in analyzing documented shallow landslides in Campania (Italy) and municipalities with different representative stratigraphic settings.

A Shorter, Sharper Rainy Season Amplifies California Wildfire Risk

Daniel L. Swain

Summary: California has seen increasingly severe autumn wildfires in recent decades, with a clear link to climate change. Recent research shows that the delay in autumn precipitation and increased sharpness of precipitation seasonality in California have important implications for ecology and wildfire risk. These observations align with climate model projections, suggesting that recent trends could be a preview of larger changes to come.

Numerical simulation of unstable suction transients in unsaturated soils: the role of wetting collapse

Yanni Chen et al.

Summary: Fluid injection in unsaturated soils can lead to instability, with the introduction of viscosity helping to restore numerical stability. The study examines the role of volume collapse on suction transient stability in different material behaviors, showing that viscosity can prevent diffusive instability and ensure positive diffusivity. Numerical stability can be maintained and constitutive singularity suppressed through the incorporation of minor amounts of viscosity.

Unsaturated Flow Processes and the Onset of Seasonal Deformation in Slow-Moving Landslides

N. J. Finnegan et al.

Summary: The research shows how unsaturated groundwater flow processes control the onset of seasonal landslide motion and the nearly instantaneous pressure transmission within the landslide body due to rainfall, providing insights into the dynamics of infiltration into unsaturated ground.
