- Quantifying the Sensitivity of Progressive Landslide Movements to Failure Geometry, Undercutting Processes and Hydrological Changes (2019) · Journal of Geophysical Research Earth Surface · cited 25× · doi
The rate of landslide advance and potential for sustained movement has previously been studied in the context of hydrological factors, such as dilative or contractive pore pressure response, but the sensitivity of realistic landslide geometry subject to toe erosion is not well quantified.
