Scaling Properties of Rainfall-Induced Landslides Predicted by a Physically Based Model
, 2014 Natural landslides exhibit scaling properties revealed by power law relationships. These relationships include the frequency of the size (e.g., area, volume) of the landslides, and the rainfall conditions responsible for slope failures in a region ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.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
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.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 ...

A Machine Learning Approach for Volcanic Eruption Mass Estimation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Estimation of total volcanic erupted mass—the primary metric of eruption magnitude—is typically performed post‐eruption relying on dense monitoring of ground‐based seismology, gravity and deformation instrumentation, and therefore exists for only ∼100 of ∼1280 volcanoes worldwide.

Paying for Safety: Preferences for Mortality Risk Reductions on Alpine Roads [PDF]
This paper presents a choice experiment, which values reductions in mortality risk on Alpine roads. These roads are on one hand threatened by common road hazards, on the other hand they are also endangered by natural hazards such as avalanches and ...
