Consolidated‐Undrained Shear Behavior of Diatomaceous Mudstones: Implications for Submarine Landslides

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Submarine landslides occur globally and have the potential to damage seafloor infrastructure and trigger tsunamis. Recently, diatomaceous weak layers have been hypothesized to play a role in triggering submarine landslides on passive continental margins by generating overpressure.

Landslide Character and Hydrological Thresholds for Slope Failure Initiation on Volcanic Scoria Slopes: Case Study From Mt Hobson/Ōhinerau, Auckland, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Rainfall‐induced landslides involving on Auckland Volcanic Field scoria cones are highly unusual, compared with widespread landsliding in the surrounding Auckland clay‐rich residual soils. Indeed, while Auckland can suffer from thousands of rainfall‐induced shallow landslides from severe storms at subdecadal timescales, these are usually limited to ...

Swelling Potential of Fine‐Grained Soil: Theory, Determination, and Validation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Swelling potential (SP) has long been used as a terminology to describe a soil's expansibility. It is commonly defined in terms of pressure or deformation under certain constraints. However, fundamentally, SP originates from the soil‐water interactions in the interlayer space of expansive minerals and should not depend on displacement or force
