Hydrological perspective of landslide dams: a reviewNARA Subscribed
Landslide dams, created when rapid mass movements block river channels, are strongly influenced by hydrological conditions of the upstream catchment. The formation and long-term stability of landslide dams are closely linked to hydrological factors such as streamflow, lake area, water level and precipitation. Conversely, the formation of these dams changes upstream and downstream hydrological regimes such as water storage, sed...

Mechanical and hydraulic properties of unsaturated layered pyroclastic ashes in landslide-prone areas of Campania (Italy)NARA Subscribed
Air-fall pyroclastic soil deposits usually display a loose fabric composed of alternating layers of ashes and pumices. Such deposits, when lying on steep slopes, represent a major geohazard due to the occurrence of landslides. This is the case of the carbonate massifs in Campania (southern Italy), a wide landslide-prone area of approximately 400 km 2 covered with pyroclastic soils. In such cohesionless deposits, the additional...
Fallout volcanic deposits of Somma- Vesuvius (Campania, southern Italy), characterized by the presence of layers with contrasting textural and hydraulic properties, are frequently affected by shallow landslides during rainwater infiltration. The soils of the stratigraphic sequence present intra- particle pores, originated by the gases escaped during magma decompression in the volcanic conduit, thus are characterized by double...
The positioning of quality detection points as well as the frequency of sampling is a crucial aspect for the implementation of Water Safety Plans (WSPs), which have been proposed worldwide to ensure water quality and to minimize the risk from contamination in water distribution networks (WDNs). In this regard, some international legislations and best practices about quality of drinking water suggest very fine sampling frequenc...
Observations from the 26th November 2019 Albania earthquake: the earthquake engineering field investigation team (EEFIT) missionNARA Subscribed
On the 26th of November 2019, an earthquake of moment magnitude 6.4 struck the northwest region of Albania as the result of thrust faulting near the convergent boundary of the Africa and Eurasia plates causing widespread damage to buildings in the city of Durrës and the surrounding areas. Based on the official data from the national authorities, the earthquake caused 51 casualties and 985 million-euro losses, corresponding to...
