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 ...

Time-Series Variation of Landslide Expansion in Areas with a Low Frequency of Heavy Rainfall
Geosciences, 2023 After multiple simultaneous landslides caused by heavy rainfall, expanding landslides continue to occur for a certain duration. Evaluation of the influencing period of sediment yield due to expanding landslides is vital for comprehensive sediment ...

Erosion rate and previous extent of interior layered deposits on Mars revealed by obstructed landslides [PDF]
, 2014 We describe interior layered deposits on Mars that have obstructed landslides before undergoing retreat by as much as 2 km. These landslides differ from typical Martian examples in that their toe height increases by as much as 500 m in a distinctive ...

Characteristics and causes of natural and human-induced landslides in a tropical mountainous region: the rift flank west of Lake Kivu (Democratic Republic of the Congo) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Tropical mountainous regions are often identified as landslide hotspots with growing population pressure. Anthropogenic factors are assumed to play a role in the occurrence of landslides in these densely populated regions, yet the relative importance of ...
