Landslide Susceptibility Mapping for Railway Slopes Using Comparative Models and InSAR-Based Validation

Abstract We evaluated landslide susceptibility along the Carajás Railway in Brazil using five approaches: Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Multilayer Perceptron, Support Vector Machine, and Weight of Evidence. The models integrated an inventory of 148 landslide events wi...

Long-Term Seepage and Stability of Tropical Railway Cut Slopes Using Satellite Hydroclimatic Data

Abstract Rainfall-induced landslides threaten tropical railway infrastructure, where sparse monitoring limits the characterization of rainfall–instability relationships. This study investigated the long-term hydraulic response and stability of railway cut slopes in residual soils...

Western amazon 2020 extreme heatwave

Abstract Between September and November 2020, an extreme climate event characterized by the co-occurrence of severe drought, extreme heat stress, widespread burning, and respiratory health impacts affected southwestern Amazonia. This study investigated the event using an integrat...
