- This paper presents the first analytically tractable multi-dimensional model for shallow landslides within a limit equilibrium framework and provides the first mechanistic explanation for widely observed landslide depth-area and length-width scaling relationships. The governing equations have been applied in slope stability analysis by six separate groups internationally and have been tested against experimental results at Caltech, reproducing the observations with good agreement. ETH Zurich have adopted our treatment of the landslide downslope boundary. The paper compares model predictions against observed landslide properties for a well parameterised study area then seeks to explain global trends using the best available global dataset.
