Temperature continuously controls the stability of clay slopes ...
With climate change, we are expecting more frequent extreme weather events in many regions worldwide. These events can trigger disruptive, deadly natural hazards, which catch the attention of the media and raise awareness in citizens and policymakers. Floods, wildfires, landslides are the object of...

With climate change, we are expecting more frequent extreme weather events in many regions worldwide. These events can trigger disruptive, deadly natural hazards, which catch the attention of the media and raise awareness in citizens and policymakers. Floods, wildfires, landslides are the object of a great deal of research. Yet, they remain difficult to predict and handle. Climate change also means warmer temperatures, especially on land. Glaciers melt, permafrost thaws. Everywhere, the ground gets warmer down to increasing depths. At first sight, not a big deal. What can a few extra degrees do? Microbes and fungi becomes more active, chemical equilibria shift. Silent changes are left unnoticed, even by scientists. In landslide studies, the stability of slopes is a balance of weights, water pressures, and mechanical strengths. Above freezing, temperature is left out, yet it should not be. The strength of clays, which frequently are abundant in soils, is sensitive to temperature. With a simple numerical ... |
