New Insights into the Emplacement Dynamics of Volcanic Island Landslides [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Rigidity Strengthening of Landslide Materials Measured by Seismic Interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Landslides have caused extensive infrastructure damage and caused human fatalities for centuries. Intense precipitation and large earthquakes are considered to be two major landslide triggers, particularly in the case of catastrophic landslides. The most widely accepted mechanistic explanation for landslides is the effective-stress dependent shear ...

Towards Automatic Landslide-Quake Identification Using a Random Forest Classifier

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Landslide-generated seismic waves (landslide-quakes), exhibiting distinctive waveforms and frequency characteristics, can be recorded by nearby seismometers.

Distribution of large- and medium-scale loess landslides induced by the Haiyuan Earthquake in 1920 based on field investigation and interpretation of satellite images

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2022
Studying the distribution law and influencing factors of coseismic landslides has important scientific significance and engineering value for understanding the mechanism of seismic landslides and predicting the occurrence of seismic landslides.

Landslide Susceptibility Mapping and Interpretation in the Upper Minjiang River Basin

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
To enable the accurate assessment of landslide susceptibility in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River Basin, this research intends to spatially compare landslide susceptibility maps obtained from unclassified landslides directly and the spatial ...

Seismic stratigraphy and marine magnetics of the Naples Bay (Southern Tyrrhenian sea, Italy): the onset of new technologies in marine data acquisition, processing and interpretation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Seismic stratigraphy and marine magnetics in the case histories of the Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex, Phlegrean Fields offshore and Ischia and Procida islands offshore (Naples Bay, Southern Tyrrhenian sea) are here discussed.

Rapid sequestration of rock avalanche deposits within glaciers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Topographic development in mountainous landscapes is a complex interplay between tectonics, climate and denudation. Glaciers erode valleys to generate headwall relief, and hillslope processes control the height and retreat of the peaks.

Dynamics of the Askja caldera July 2014 landslide, Iceland, from seismic signal analysis: precursor, motion and aftermath [PDF]

open access: yesEarth Surface Dynamics, 2018
Landslide hazard motivates the need for a deeper understanding of the events that occur before, during, and after catastrophic slope failures. Due to the destructive nature of such events, in situ observation is often difficult or impossible. Here, we
