Characteristic analysis of large-scale loess landslides: a case study in Baoji City of Loess Plateau of Northwest China [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011
Landslides are one of the most common geologic hazards in the Loess Plateau of northwest China, especially with some of the highest landslide densities found in Shaanxi and adjacent provinces. Prior to assessing the landslide hazard, a detailed landslide

Study on the relationship between the occurrence of landslide and the cracks at the edge of loess platform

AIP Advances, 2022
A landslide is a kind of geological disaster, which seriously threatens the production and lives of people around it. In collapsible loess areas, landslides occur more frequently. There are many cracks at the edge of the loess platform.

Characteristics of loess landslides triggered by the 1927 Mw8.0 earthquake that occurred in Gulang County, Gansu Province, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The 1927 Gulang Mw8.0 earthquake was one of the largest earthquakes in Gansu, China, which triggered lots of loess landslides. However, the loess of the study area is atypical and different from that of the Loess Plateau.
