Effects of Seismogenic Faults on the Predictive Mapping of Probability to Earthquake-Triggered Landslides

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019
The seismogenic fault is crucial for spatial prediction of co-seismic landslides, e.g., in logistic regression (LR) analysis considering influence factors.

Mechanism of the Donghekou landslide triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake revealed by discrete element modeling [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014
The huge Donghekou landslide was triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 with about 2.4 × 107 m3 of rock displaced. The landslide is considered as an example of an earthquake-induced "ejection" event, where dislocated slope materials was expelled ...

Research review and prospects of the 2000 giant Yigong long-runout landslide: Volume, formation mechanism and recurrence period, Tibetan plateau, China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The long-runout landslide is an unusual landslide with great drop height, long sliding distance, large volume, and high velocity, which is characterized by strong kinetic energy, fragmentation and entrainment effect.

Active Tectonics of the Pyrenees: A review

Journal of Iberian Geology, 2012
The Pyrenees have experienced at least seven earthquakes with magnitude M > 5 in the last 400 years. During the last decades, several seismotectonic, neotectonic and paleoseismological studies have focused on identifying the main active structures of the areas experiencing damaging earthquakes.

Exploring Active Tectonics in the Dominican Republic [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2010
The devastating 12 January 2010 Haiti earthquake (M = 7.0), which killed an estimated 230,000 people and caused extensive damage to homes and buildings, drew attention to the crucial need for improved knowledge of the active tectonics of the Caribbean region.

Active tectonics deduced from geomorphic indices and its implication on economic development of water resources in South-Eastern part of Mikir massif, Assam, India

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2020
The geomorphic analysis of mountain fronts and related drainage networks can provide valuable insights about the recorded tectonic history of any given region especially when the area shows higher seismic activity in recent times. Therefore, such studies

Assessment of relative active tectonics in parts of Aravalli mountain range, India: implication of geomorphic indices, remote sensing, and GIS

Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2020
Udaipur is located in the southern front of NE-SW oriented Aravalli hills. The area is dissected by several active fault/lineaments. To access the tectonic scenario, we have used a widely used conventional geomorphic indices such as stream length ...
