Landslides are destructive natural disasters that cause human and economic losses. Although many studies report the effects of forest age on landslide susceptibility, especially for shallow landslides, no studies have examined the effects at a national scale. We assumed that temporal variations in the annual number of rainfall-triggered landslides in Japan were determined by variations in rainfall and forest age distribution. By this assumption, this study aimed to quantify the decrease in the frequency of rainfall-induced landslides owing to the increasing maturity of forests in Japan. Data were collated from 21 studies covering 11 sites in three countries that reported a landslide susceptibility index (i.e., frequency ratio or landslide density) and the relation between forest age and the normalized landslide susceptibility index (NLSI) was modeled. Using this relation and the area for each forest age class, the change in landslide susceptibility at a national scale (NLSIJpn) was quantified during 1966–2017. The authors developed generalized linear models (GLMs) using the annual number of landslides as the response variable and the NLSIJpn and a rainfall index for each year as the explanatory variables. The number of rainfall-induced landslides was simulated in the GLMs in 15 scenarios with different forest age distributions and rainfall amounts. The number of landslides in young-age-dominated and middle-age-dominated forests was estimated to be 2.4 and 1.1 times, respectively, that in mature-age-dominated forests. The change in the number of landslides from young-age-dominated to mature-age-dominated forests was larger than that from an increase in the rainfall amount of 20%. We conclude that increasing the maturity of forests greatly reduces landslide frequency in Japan. In a changing climate with potentially threatening increases in rainfall, preserving mature forests is important to avoid amplifying landslide susceptibility on a national scale.

Rainfall-triggered volcanic debris flows (VDFs), or lahars, frequently occur during and/or immediately after eruptions, often because of decreases in the infiltration capacity resulting from the deposition of fine volcanic materials. Although the infiltration capacity recovers and the frequency of VDFs decreases within a decade, VDFs have continued to occur over several decades after the eruption of some volcanoes. No study has yet identified the factors controlling sediment discharge of VDFs for a specific volcano after the recovery of infiltration capacity to the pre-eruptive level. We analyzed topographic changes and sediment volumes between 2003 and 2020, using 16 digital elevation models (DEMs) and orthophotographs from aerial lidar scanning for the Tansandani and Gokurakudani gullies of Mount Unzen where the infiltration capacity has recovered after the most recent eruption in 1990–1995. We also analyzed the frequency and magnitude of VDFs in 2003–2020. Topographic changes differed before and after three large-scale VDFs in 2015 and 2016. The total volume of the three VDFs was 140 × 103 m3. Between 2003 and 2014, the width and depth of the gullies continuously increased, with the changes in the intervals of successive DEMs averaging below 5 m. Between 2017 and 2020, gully cross-sections remained U-shaped and changed little, while the channel gradient gradually decreased. U-shaped gullies promote the dispersion of VDFs and their gentle slopes reduce the velocity of VDFs. As a result, the frequency and magnitude of VDFs decreased, and deposition and erosion in the gullies were almost balanced between 2017 and 2020. Thus, we conclude that topography is the main factor that controls the occurrence and magnitude of debris flows and therefore sediment discharge after the recovery of infiltration capacity to the pre-eruptive level.

As climate change creeps into the 21st century, the intensity of debris flows due to heavy and concentrated rainfall has increased in mountainous regions of Japan and East Asia. However, the relationship between climate change and an increase in debris flows is likely to be non-linear. Rainwater infiltrates more quickly into porous material, and the lack of vegetation cover increases evaporation and the temperature of surface sediments. In addition, periodic gully collapses bring fresh layers of porous material that increase the distance between the surface and the vadose zone. Therefore, to understand the relationship between volcanic debris flows (or lahars), parameters such as density, porosity, temperature, and moisture retention must be captured in detail in both time and space. The aim of this paper is to assess the role of loose, coarse, and porous sediments in lahar triggering. The present study was conducted at Unzen volcano in the Tansandani Guly between 31 May and 1 June 2023, 30 years after the last eruption. The dacite material is composed of a matrix of sand and coarse sand mixed with larger fractions and blocks, therefore traditional density measurement methods could not be applied, and a photogrammetric based method was used. In the field, sets of SfM-MVS photographs were taken before and after digging a hole in the sediments so that the measured mass could be compared to the volume of the hole in the sediments. After the sediments were dried, the dry and wet density, bulk density and porosity of the sample were calculated. When compared to the temperature data collected in the field, the following results were obtained: (1) The porosity of the volcanic material was highest in the lower reaches, followed by the upper reaches, and lowest in the middle reaches. This may be because fine sand washed out of the upstream area by rainfall is currently stored in the midstream area, which may facilitate debris flow generation. In addition, the downstream area has a high porosity, which may be due to the surrounding vegetation preventing the influx of new fine sand from the channel wall. (2) Because of the higher porosity and the lack of organic matter and vegetation cover, the increase in temperature acts more directly on the decrease in water content than in mountainous areas. Consequently, empirical equations for the potential for mudslides in volcanic areas with respect to surface temperature and soil moisture need to be developed for hazard and disaster risk management purposes.

Lava domes created by volcanoes often cause pyroclastic and debris flows, which have a significant impact on the surrounding infrastructure and population and have been the subject of much research. However, because volcanic domes tend not to survive the eruptions that form them, the instability of domes that survive eruptions such as Unzen Fugendake in Japan is both a poorly understood process and a danger. Therefore, the present contribution aims to (1) Displacement and precipitation from 2018 to 2020 for lava domes at Unzen volcano and their relationship to earthquakes, and (2) Haar wavelet analysis to understand the response of displacement to precipitation. The method is based on dome displacement from the Unzen Ground Based Synthetic Aperture Radar system and 48-hour rainfall from the MP radar rain gauge system. As a result, the authors confirmed the following: (1) precipitation of 150 mm or more in 48 hours tends to increase the vertical fluctuation of the dome, and even rainfall of less than 100 mm per 48 hours has a similar effect when it is repeated in an intensive manner; (2) After precipitation, major dome displacement can take days or weeks to occur, and is not instantaneous like the dome collapses in Soufriere and Merapi.

On 13th August 2021 at Unzen Volcano (Japan), an 81 mm.hr-1 peak-rainfall (1486 mm in 2 weeks) triggered series of erosion and deposition features in the Tansandani and the Gokurakudani gullies, all adding up to 57,800 m3 of erosion and 39,600 m3 of deposition. Upstream of the Sabo dam located at the exit of the Tansandani Gully, a large deposit has been visually identified as a potential debris-flow front candidate. However, the absence of direct observation leaves some uncertainty on the process that deposited the material and the magnitude of the flow. In the present contribution, the authors are investigating (1) the role of the debris-flow body in constructing the deposit and (2) the role of the tail of the debris-flow in eroding the fresh deposit. To reach this objective, the authors have combined a field investigation with direct observation, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and Photogrammetry, and GIS (Geographic Information System) analysis of the field data. From this data, a 2D hydrodynamic simulation and sediment transport models were applied. The results show that the debris-flow ran beyond the first Sabo dam, with part of the material trapped on both sides of the gully. Afterwards, a central channel connected to sub-channels conveyed the diluted flow, most probably < 25 cm with maximum velocities between 4 to 5 m.s-1 at peak flow. Only the debris-flow phase went over the internal shoulders of the Sabo dam. A lobe occupies the top half of the study area and its deposition has been discussed to be related to the sudden widening of the gully, while the lower half is connected to the base-level created by the check dam.
