A wind tunnel study under wind-driven rains was conducted at Ghent University, Belgium, to determine the combined effect of rain and wind on the rainsplash transport process. Transport rates were measured by trapping the splashed particles at set
distances in the upslope and downslope directions, respectively, for windward and leeward slopes. Rainsplash transport under wind-driven rains was adequately described by relating the transport rate to the rain impact pressure and wind shear velocity by log
The A. presents a procedure to find the most efficient walking route to inspect 16 rain gauges within a mountainous location on the Faeroe Islands. Measured walking times on varying slopes and crossing shallow rivers were used as inputs to establish
a friction-based cost surface. Subsequently, a cost path analysis led to identification of a web of least-cost paths between the locations. Finally, the most time-saving route to visit all rain gauges in one round trip from the base camp was found using
The Vsetin region occupies a part of Outer Western Carpathians, built by flysh rocks. The main objectives of this study is to determine and analyse the terrain conditions which contributed to the evolution of landslides after the 1997 summer rain

the early maps indicate that in 4 sub-basins structural geological factors control chronic landsliding regularly reactivated by intense rains. Within these 4 sub-basins, all later air photographs reveal a continuing high incidence of landslides. Logging
