The Sierra Norte de Puebla (Mexico) is a tropical mountain frequently affected by torrential
rains induced by depressions and hurricanes. In October 1999 and 2005, intense precipitation
triggered hundreds of landslides and caused heavy human losses and material damages.
All the landslides surveyed in the field and their traces extracted from the sa...

... then possible to measure the length and width of the rectangle circumscribing the studied landslide surface and calculate its ratio. There are many different procedures that allow defining a convex zone. Among them, the Jarvis's march such as it is described by Akl and Toussaint (1978) is a simple algorithm that efficiently draws a convex contour (Fig. ...

Rainfall forecast performance was evaluated for the first time for the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model. This study focused on HWRF performance in predicting rainfall from Hurricane Harvey in 2017. In particular, two configurations of the 2017 version of HWRF were investigated: a deterministic version of the Basin-scale HWRF...
In 2017, The annual rainfall total in Mobile was ranked 8 th of 147 recorded years (1871-2018), while Pensacola, Florida was 2 nd of 138 years (1880-2018). In addition to a host of non-tropical locally heavy precipitation producing storm systems, three tropical systems directly and indirectly contributed to these totals (i.e., Tropical Storm Cindy,...
The Sierra Norte de Puebla (Eastern coast of Mexico) is a tropical mountain frequently affected by torrential rains induced by depressions and hurricanes. In October 1999 and 2005, intense precipitation triggered hundreds of landslides on a 134 km area, and caused heavy human losses and material damages. We show that there is a clear relationship b...

... Morphometric analysis provides a quantitative description of the characteristics of a watershed. It has been applied to mass movement classification [1], watershed prioritization for soil and water conservation [2], identification of soil erosion prone areas [3] and for flood potential mapping [4]. Analysis of area, linear, and relief morphometric parameters of a watershed also provides a better understanding of its hydrological behaviour [5]. ...
