Multimodal method for coseismic landslide hazard assessment [PDF]

Engineering Geology, 2016
Abstract Regional-scale coseismic landslide hazard assessments have traditionally been based on infinite-slope analyses, considering only a single mode of failure. Inventories and landslide reconnaissance work have shown a diverse range of coseismic landslide modes with significantly different consequences of failure. This paper presents a multimodal

Insights into the Landslides Triggered by the 2022 Lushan Ms 6.1 Earthquake: Spatial Distribution and Controls

Remote Sensing, 2022
On 1 June 2022, a magnitude Ms 6.1 (Mw 5.8) earthquake, named the 2022 Lushan earthquake, struck the southern segment of the Longmenshan fault zone, with an epicenter at 30.395°N, 102.958°E and a focal depth of approximately 12.0 km. To gain insight into

New Insights into the Emplacement Dynamics of Volcanic Island Landslides [PDF]

, 2014
Volcanic islands form the highest topographic structures on Earth and are the sites of some of the planet's largest landslides. These landslides can rapidly mobilize hundreds of cubic kilometers of rock and sediment, and potentially generate destructive ...

Two public inventories of landslides induced by the 10 June 2022 Maerkang Earthquake swarm, China and ancient landslides in the affected area

Natural Hazards Research, 2022
The June 10, 2022 Ms5.8, Ms6.0 and Ms5.2 earthquake swarm of Maerkang, Sichuan, China has triggered a lot of landslides. The primary purpose of this paper is to prepare a detailed coseismic landslides inventory and ancient landslide inventory in the ...

Landslide damage along Araniko highway and Pasang Lhamu highway and regional assessment of landslide hazard related to the Gorkha, Nepal earthquake of 25 April 2015

Geoenvironmental Disasters, 2017
Background The Gorkha, Nepal Mw 7.8 earthquake of 25 April 2015 triggered a large number of coseismic landslides in a broad area. Two highways, Araniko Highway and Pasang Lhamu Highway, that connect Tibet of China and Nepal, were affected seriously by ...

Topographic Controls on the Distribution of Coseismic Landslides: A Case Study Using the Coefficient of Variation of the 2014 Ludian, Yunnan, China, Ms6.5 Earthquake

Lithosphere, 2022
Identifying the locations of potential landslide areas is fundamental for disaster prevention and mitigation. Considering the close relationship between landslides and geomorphic evolution, a new approach is proposed to predict which areas are prone to ...

Predictive model of regional coseismic landslides’ permanent displacement considering uncertainty

, 2022
Coseismic landslides are common secondary earthquake geohazards in meizoseismal areas. Newmark sliding block permanent displacement method has been widely adopted to develop regional coseismic landslide hazard maps.

Regional coseismic landslide hazard assessment without historical landslide inventories : a new approach. [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2015
Currently, regional coseismic landslide hazard analyses require comprehensive historical landslide inventories as well as detailed geotechnical data. Consequently, such analyses have not been possible where these data are not available. A new approach is proposed herein to assess coseismic landslide hazard at regional scale for specific earthquake ...

Global Patterns of coseismic landslide runout mobility differ from aseismic landslide trends [PDF]

Engineering Geology
Coseismic landslides significantly contribute to human and economic losses during and immediately following earthquakes, yet very little data on the runout of such landslides exist.

Large Submarine Landslides on Continental Slopes: Geohazards, Methane Release, and Climate Change [PDF]

, 2014
Submarine landslides on open continental slopes can be prodigious in scale. They are an important process for global sediment fluxes, and can generate very damaging tsunamis.
