Understanding fatal landslides at global scales: a summary of topographic, climatic, and anthropogenic perspectives
-
growing demographic pressure and land use/cover changes increase frequency and impact of landslides
-
recording/monitoring/analysis are essential for robust/predictive models
-
human stress on slopes under extreme wheater leads to proportional increase in fatalities
-
south asia most affected region because of summer monsoon
-
most fatal non-seismic landslides are caused by natural factors (84,5%) rather than anthropogenic (15,5%)
-
landslide concentration and fatality is highest around tropical and temperate regions (94%)
-
conentration and fatality of landslides is around 20% higher in plains for anthropgenic causes and vice versa for natural causes in low/middle mountains
-
mortality rate (average number of fatalities per landslide) higher for naturally triggerd landslides
-
mortality rate lower for tropical and temperate regions
-
landslides with many fatalities are relativly rare
-
landslides are expected to inscrease due to climate change
-
landslides triggered naturally may be influenced my anthropogenic factors (reduced hill stability, ...)
-
natural at higher elevation, anthropogenic at lower elevation
