The role of frictional heating in the development of catastrophic landslides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this work, a new thermo-mechanical model is developed by improving on an existing one, applicable to large deep seated landslides and rockslides consisting of a coherent mass sliding on a thin clayey layer.

Dependence of Coseismic Landslide Distribution Patterns on Fault Movement

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Faults are the primary drivers of earthquakes and exert a strong control on rupture mechanisms, earthquake magnitude, and the spatial distribution of coseismic landslides (CLs). However, how CL spatial distribution patterns vary with faulting style remains poorly constrained.

Environmental monitoring: landslide assessment and risk management (Test site: Vernazza, Cinque Terre Natural Park) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Natural disasters, whether of meteorological origin such as cyclones, floods, tornadoes and droughts or having geological nature such as earthquakes, volcanoes and landslide, are well known for their devastating impacts on human life, economy and ...

The complementary distribution of coseismic and slow-moving landslides along the transition between the Qinghai-Xizang plateau and Sichuan basin

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics
Landslides accompanying earthquakes are essential in landscape evolution along active fault zones. However, most studies focus on the rapid, catastrophic coseismic landslides with surface scars; the role of slow-moving landslides and their relation with ...

Initiation and Runout of Post‐Seismic Debris Flows: Insights From the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
Post‐seismic debris flows are an important hazard following large earthquakes, propagating destruction downstream from hillslopes where coseismic landslides occur and extending damage for years after shaking stops.

Identification of Dominant Controlling Factors and Susceptibility Assessment of Coseismic Landslides Triggered by the 2022 Luding Earthquake

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Coseismic landslides are geological events in which slopes, either on the verge of instability or already in a fragile state, experience premature failure due to seismic shaking.

Fast report: near-real-time assessment of the ML6.4 Dapu earthquake-induced landslides

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
Rapid assessment of potential landslides in regions of risk and their associated impacts following an earthquake is needed to provide crucial information to guide emergency responses.

Susceptibility evaluation of Wenchuan coseismic landslides by gradient boosting decision tree and random forest based on optimal negative sample sampling strategies

open access: yes地质科技通报
Objective Strong earthquake-induced landslides are characterized by large number, wide distribution and large scale, and seriously threaten people's lives and property.

Prediction of Coseismic Landslides by Explainable Machine Learning Methods

open access: yesGeoHazards
The MJMA 7.6 (Mw 7.5) Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 1 January 2024 in Japan triggered widespread slope failures across northern Noto region, but their spatial controls and susceptibility patterns remain poorly quantified. Most previous studies have focused mainly on fault rupture, ground deformation, and tsunami impacts, leaving a clear gap in machine ...

An integrated approach for evaluating the effectiveness of landslide risk reduction in unplanned communities in the Caribbean [PDF]

open access: yes
Despite the recognition of the need for mitigation approaches to landslide risk in developing countries, the delivery of ‘on-the-ground’ measures is rarely undertaken. With respect to other ‘natural’ hazards it is widely reported that mitigation can pay.
