Shang：Earthquake landslides cause multiple disasters
地震科学进展, 2023 Most of the earthquakes recorded during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties were in the West Sichuan-Shaanxi-Gansu border area，where mountain collapses were very common.

, 2021 Over the entire Alps, ~75% of 'catastrophic' mass-wastings (CMW; rockslides and rock avalanches >105 m3 in volume) still are undated. We have studied and radiocarbon-dated a rock avalanche deposit (RAD) that was not investigated in any detail before. The

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The control efficacy of a novel laser pulse system operating at 1940 nm was tested. The new system allows effective control of young weeds with 1.5 J. Targeting the plant stem is 53‐fold more energy‐efficient than the meristem. Species morphology and beam diameter significantly influence weed control efficacy. Abstract BACKGROUND This study evaluates a

Dumpsite Seabed Characterization of the San Pedro Basin, CA, From Autonomous Vehicle Observations
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A wide‐area seabed survey was conducted using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in a known dumpsite off the coast of Southern California that has been found to have widespread sediment contamination from the chemical dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT).

Characteristics of Rock Avalanche Deposit in Wangjiapo, Ludian Based on UAV Aerial Image Recognition
Remote SensingRock avalanche disasters in alpine and gorge regions are frequent and large in scale and cause severe damage. The movement of a rock avalanche is complex and has not been fully studied.

Chronology and Geomorphological Activity of the Akdag Rock Avalanche (SW Turkey)
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Large rock-slope failures are among the primary geohazards in high mountain areas. These rock avalanches and rockslides constitute most of the world’s largest landslide deposits.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.

Understanding Failure and Runout Mechanisms of the Flims Rockslide/Rock Avalanche
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The Flims rockslide/rock avalanche (FRRA) is the largest long runout landslide in Europe. This event provides a unique opportunity to study the pre-failure and failure behavior of a large rock slope, as both the source zone and deposit of this event are ...
