Modelling post-earthquake cascading hazards: Changing patterns of landslide runout following the 2015 Gorkha earthquake, Nepal (2022)
Journal Article
Kincey, M., Rosser, N., Densmore, A., Robinson, T., Shrestha, R., Pujara, D., …Arrell, K. (2023). Modelling post-earthquake cascading hazards: Changing patterns of landslide runout following the 2015 Gorkha earthquake, Nepal. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 48(3), 537-554. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5501

Coseismic landslides represent the first stage of a broader cascading sequence of geohazards associated with high-magnitude continental earthquakes, with the subsequent remobilization of coseismic landslide debris posing a long-term post-seismic lega...

Improving above ground biomass estimates of Southern Africa dryland forests by combining Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery. (2022)
Journal Article
Ruusa, M., Rosser, N., & Donoghue, D. (2022). Improving above ground biomass estimates of Southern Africa dryland forests by combining Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery. Remote Sensing of Environment, 282, Article 113232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2022.113232

Having the ability to make accurate assessments of above ground biomass (AGB) at high spatial resolution is invaluable for the management of dryland forest resources in areas at risk from deforestation, forest degradation pressure and climate change...

Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood (2022)
Journal Article
Pearson, C., Reaney, S., Perks, M., Hortobagyi, B., Rosser, N., & Large, A. (2022). Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood. Journal of Flood Risk Management, 15(4), Article e12840. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfr3.12840

Practical approaches for managing flooding from fluvial sources are moving away from mitigation solely at the point of impact and towards integrated catchment management. This considers the source areas, flow pathways of floodwaters and the locations... Read More about Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood.

An investigation of the combined effect of rainfall and road cut on landsliding (2022)
Journal Article
Pradhan, S., Toll, D., Rosser, N., & Brain, M. (2022). An investigation of the combined effect of rainfall and road cut on landsliding. Engineering Geology, 307, Article 106787. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enggeo.2022.106787

The reduction of soil suction and consequent loss of shear strength due to infiltration is known to trigger shallow landslides during periods of concentrated rainfall. In the mountainous terrain of Nepal, the risk of shallow rainfall-induced landslid... Read More about An investigation of the combined effect of rainfall and road cut on landsliding.

Remote sensing for monitoring tropical dryland forests: A review of current research, knowledge gaps and future directions for Southern Africa (2022)
Journal Article
David, R., Rosser, N. J., & Donoghue, D. N. (2022). Remote sensing for monitoring tropical dryland forests: A review of current research, knowledge gaps and future directions for Southern Africa. Environmental Research Communications, 4(4), https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7620/ac5b84

Climate change, manifest via rising temperatures, extreme drought, and associated anthropogenic activities, has a negative impact on the health and development of tropical dryland forests. Southern Africa encompasses significant areas of dryland fore...

Mass Movements (2022)
Book Chapter
Brain, M., & Rosser, N. (in press). Mass Movements. In T. Burt, A. Goudie, & H. Viles (Eds.), The History of the Study of Landforms or the Development of Geomorphology. The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/m58-2021-32

In this chapter, we consider key advances in understanding of mass movements between ~1965 and ~2000. This period saw a burgeoning need for a greater level of understanding of mass movement processes in response to a series of high impact mass moveme... Read More about Mass Movements.
