2. Outline Introduction Rainfall and landslide information
Rainfall intensity–duration data
Objective identification of rainfall thresholds
Global rainfall ID thresholds
Conclusions

3. Introduction (1/3)
In 1980, Nel Caine published a paper entitled “The rainfall intensity–duration control of shallow landslides and debris flows”.
I：rainfall intensity in millimeter per hour (mm/h)
D：rainfall duration in hours (h)

4. Introduction (2/3)
Rainfall ID thresholds are used to forecast the occurrence of shallow landslides and debris flows based on continuous rainfall measurements.
To account for climatic effects, the rainfall intensity is normalized by the mean annual precipitation (MAP) and the rainy-day normal (RDN ,Wilson and Jayko 1997).
Rainfall thresholds can be defined physically or empirically.
Regional thresholds and Local thresholds.

5. Introduction (3/3)
Rainfall and climate variables used in the literature for the definition of rainfall thresholds for the initiation of landslides

6. Rainfall and landslide information (1/6)
The collected information was organized in a catalogue listing 2,626 landslide events covering the 89-year period between 1917 and 2005.

15. Objective identification of rainfall thresholds (1/1)
In general, a rainfall threshold is drawn visually as the (apparent) lower boundary for the rainfall conditions.
New method
A. threshold curve of the form was selected to describe
the threshold.
B. Bernoulli probability approach was used to find the scale (intercept) α
and the shape (slope) β of the power law curve.

4. Crosta and Frattini (2001)
5. Cannon and Gartner (2005)
6.Threshold inferred from the entire set of ID rainfall data (this work)
7. Thresholds for two different rainfall periods
(D < 48 h, and D ≥ 48 h)
(this work)

21. Conclusions (1/1)
New statistical treated outliers in an unbiased way and reduced interpretation errors.
Collection of a large number of ID rainfall data through a literature search.
Results of the normalization indicate that MAP and RDN did not reduce significantly.
A global landslide warning system could contribute to mitigate
landslide risk.
