Geostructures, dynamics and risk mitigation of high-altitude and long-runout rockslides

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023
Long-runout rockslides at high altitude could cause disaster chain in river basins and destroy towns and major infrasturctures. This paper firstly explores the initiation mechanism of high-altitude and long-runout rockslides.

Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]

, 2009
The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

Evidence of Quaternary tectonics along Río Grande valley, southern Malargüe fold and thrust belt, Mendoza, Argentina [PDF]

, 2019
The Malargüe fold and thrust belt is developed in the Argentinian Andes between 34° and 37° S, through the tectonic inversion of Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic depocenters of the Neuquén Basin, with an uplift history since the Cretaceous.

Segmentation of the active Liumugao Fault, NE Tibetan Plateau as revealed by DEM-derived geomorphic indices

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
As the secondary fault of the Niushoushan-Luoshan Fault Zone, the Liumugao Fault records the northeastward expansion of the Tibetan Plateau. Based on WorldDEM data, 11 rivers (R1-R11) that flow across the Liumugao Fault and their drainage basins were ...

Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin [PDF]

, 2010
Extent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven

Hazard assessment and formation mechanism of debris flow outbursts in a small watershed of the Linxia Basin

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Linxia Basin is located in the transition zone between the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau in China. Collapse–landslide–debris flow geological disasters are particularly prevalent in this region.
