Since 2015 the Research Group of Morphodynamic and Environmental Processes from USP has been developing studies on the landslides and the debris flows that occurred in the municipality of Itaoca in 2014, that caused numerous social, economic and environmental losses. The project focus on "Debris Flow Hazard Mapping: Methodological Proposal for Predict Impacts" to evaluate the debris flow …
In the city of São Paulo, where about 11 million people live, landslides and flooding occur frequently, especially during the summer. These landslides cause the destruction of houses and urban equipment, economic damage, and the loss of lives. The number of areas threatened by landslides has been increasing each year. The objective of this article is to analyze the probability of risk and…

Most geoparks are located in areas partially or fully exposed to natural hazards and extreme weather phenomena. As verified in research carried out with managers of UNESCO geoparks (Global Geoparks Network - GGN), among the most recurrent processes in these territories and that can represent risk situations, are the mass movements, present in 70% of the geoparks. The creation and recognit…
In the last decade, a growing number of researches, especially in Europe, were aimed to evaluate landslide susceptibility and hazard and the exposure of cultural heritage sites. However, researches with this purpose remain scarce in Brazil, with a large gap in the production of landslide hazard maps based on quantitative models and aimed to evaluate the exposure of cultural heritage sites…
The evaluation of susceptibility to landslides has been widely discussed in the literature. However, there are still few studies that identify the rupture, transport, and deposition zones. Thus, the aim of this research will be to evaluate the transport and deposition (runout) dynamics of shallow landslides in the Serra do Mar and its correlation with the geometric characteristics of the …
Debris flows are one of the most destructive types of mass movement due the transport potential in long distances of large boulders and others materials. Several conditioning factors are related to the occurrence of debris flows, highlighting the watersheds dynamics and its morphometric chacacteristics. In Brazil, the studies about debris flow are importante due both the reccurrence of th…

Cultural heritage sites can be faced with threats posed by landslides and understanding how those processes can affect the value, integrity, and accessibility of heritage sites is necessary to safeguard those assets. Despite the extensive research developed in Brazil aimed to understand landslide dynamics and susceptibility in different regions and using a wide range of methods, there is …
Debris flows are one of the most destructive types of mass movement due to its capability to transport and entrainment of different materials through long distances. Despite the high number of catastrophic occurrences related to the process, researches about debris flows are still limited when compared with another process, such as landslides. Similarly, it is needing the deepening of stu…
The morphological and morphometric parameters are fundamental the understanding of the debris flow - mass movement with high destructive power and with a capacity to mobilize an enormous quantity of materials. From this project, seeking out to deepen and improve the knowledge about the System of Automated Geoscientific Analysis (SAGA), still used in Brazil. In it, the morphological and mo…
Mass movements figure between the most destructive natural processes, causing severe damage to infrastructures and loss of lives. Between them, the shallow translational slides are defined by their rupture plan, usually on the soil-rock interface; also, they are relevant as a sediment source for debris flows. Various methods are currently used to predict shallow landslides within the catc…
