Overview
- Addresses the mechanical, as well as ecological system consequences of storm-triggered landslides, with a state-of-the-science model as the basis
- Discusses the consequences of a warming climate including uplifting of atmospheric mass center and altered circulation, non-uniform warming of the major ocean basins and effects on the walker circulation and atmospheric rivers
- Explains in detail the mechanical, chemical and hydrological effects of vegetation root systems
- Covers societal impacts and proposes an intelligence network for dealing with mudslides
- Explores the likely impact of sea level rise due to ice sheet disintegration
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
