Grid units have limitations in accurately delineating the morphology and boundaries of slopes, and when used as mapping units in landslide susceptibility evaluation, they cannot accurately describe the landslide susceptibility of natural slopes ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

The Western Pontides, an active neo-tectonic region in Northwestern Turkey, are particularly rich in slope movements. Here, data-driven modelling is challenging owing to a prominent variability in geological and geomorphological features, which hinders a straightforward comprehension of ongoing and past processes.

The Quality of Clarity: Lessons from the Sixty‐Year Struggle to Maintain the Purity of Lake Taupō
Sixty years of effort to protect the exceptionally clear water of Lake Taupō, the largest lake in Aotearoa New Zealand, show how environmental memory can help manage a cultural and natural resource. I describe how water clarity and quality in this lake have been protected, through managing soil erosion and phosphorus flows during the 1960s–1980s, and ...

Predictive Models for Postfire Debris Flow Initiation in the Southwest USA
Abstract Postfire debris flows pose a threat to life and infrastructure and significantly contribute to sediment supply in upland channels, thereby impacting water quality, stream habitats, and landscape evolution. Models designed to assess postfire debris‐flow likelihood at the watershed scale in response to design or forecast rainstorms are ...

Abstract The 1906 Manas Earthquake is the largest earthquake recorded in the Borohoro Shan (BRS) since 1900. The reported magnitude ranges from 7.2 to 8.3, but uncertainties remain regarding its size, mechanism, and responsible fault. Similar confusion exists for the 1812 Nilke and 1944 Xinyuan Earthquakes, the only other Mw > 7 earthquakes in the NE ...
