Calculation of the Coseismic Landslide Volume Using DEMs: An Example from the Yingxiu Area, Wenchuan, Sichuan, China

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
Volume calculation is important for quantifying the erosion driven by coseismic landslides in geomorphology. With the advent of digital elevation models (DEMs), quantifying features of landslide bodies have become possible, permitting to calculate the ...

Simple rules to minimise exposure to coseismic landslide hazard [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019
Landslides constitute a hazard to life and infrastructure and their risk is mitigated primarily by reducing exposure. This requires information on landslide hazard on a scale that can enable informed decisions.

Mechanics of coseismic and postseismic acceleration of active landslides

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Active slow-moving landslides exhibit very different coseismic and postseismic behaviour. Whereas some landslides do not show any postseismic acceleration, there are many that experience an increased motion in the days to weeks following an earthquake ...

Role of landslides on the volume balance of the Nepal 2015 earthquake sequence [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
The 7.8 Mw earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25th, 2015 triggered over 21,000 landslides over an area of more than 25,000 km2. These landslides contributed to mass wasting, partially compensating the tectonic uplift by the earthquake.

An improved method of Newmark analysis for mapping hazards of coseismic landslides [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Coseismic landslides can destroy buildings, dislocate roads, sever pipelines, and cause heavy casualties. It is thus important but challenging to accurately map the hazards posed by coseismic landslides.

The effects of normal and shear stress wave phasing on coseismic landslide displacement [PDF]

, 2015
Predictive models used to assess the magnitude of coseismic landslide strain accumulation inresponse to earthquake ground shaking typically consider slope-parallel ground accelerations only andignore both the influence of coseismic slope-normal ground ...

Utilizing a single-temporal full polarimetric Gaofen-3 SAR image to map coseismic landslide inventory following the 2017 Mw 7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake (China)

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
On August 8, 2017, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Jiuzhaigou County in Sichuan Province, triggering numerous coseismic landslides. The prompt identification of these landslides is imperative for emergency rescue efforts and post-earthquake hazard ...
