Assessment of rainfall-induced shallow landslides in Phetchabun and Krabi provinces, Thailand

Ono, Keisuke; Kazama, So; Ekkawatpanit, Chaiwat - In: Natural Hazards 74 (2014) 3, pp. 2089-2107

Shallow landslides are a common type of rainfall-induced landslide, and various methods are currently used to predict their occurrence on a regional scale. Physically based models, such as the shallow landslide instability prediction (SLIP) model, have many advantages because these models can...
