Source Parameters of the 1906 Manas (Mw 7.7), 1944 Xinyuan (Mw 7.2) and 1812 Nilke Earthquakes and Seismotectonics of the Borohoro Shan, Western China

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1906 Manas Earthquake is the largest earthquake recorded in the Borohoro Shan (BRS) since 1900. The reported magnitude ranges from 7.2 to 8.3, but uncertainties remain regarding its size, mechanism, and responsible fault. Similar confusion exists for the 1812 Nilke and 1944 Xinyuan Earthquakes, the only other Mw > 7 earthquakes in the NE ...

Analysis of Dam Characteristics and Failure Trend of Landslide Dams With Different Materials: Field Investigation

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Landslides can block rivers and create natural dams that pose significant flooding hazards to upstream and downstream. Variations in dam materials and geometries play a critical role in controlling breach initiation and failure processes, thereby complicating failure assessment.

Redistribution of Basal Forces and Shielding Model for Seismic Signals of Debris Flows Over Loose Thin‐Layer Sediments

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Debris flows over riverbeds generate intense basal force fluctuations that radiate seismic signals, offering a key tool for remotely monitoring their dynamics. In steep, highly erosive mountainous channels, bedrock is often covered by a thin layer of loose sediments, which significantly reduce seismic energy.

Typical Case Study on the Development Characteristics of Fragmentation-sliding Seismic Landslide

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2009
:A large number of seismic landslides have been induced by Wenchuan Earthquake, among which a universal seismic landslide type was fragmentation-sliding seismic landslide, with the unique sliding characteristics and complexity of power mechanism.

Improved Constraints on Andean Glaciations From the Lake Titicaca Continental Drilling Record

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Long sedimentary records from tropical lakes provide crucial archives for reconstructing the timing and extent of tropical alpine glaciations, yet robust chronologies beyond the radiocarbon limit (ca. 50 ka) remain scarce. Here, we refine the ca. 350 kyr chronology for Lake Titicaca (Peru‐Bolivia) using radiocarbon dating, optically stimulated

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 844-867, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.

True Volumes of Slope Failure Estimated From a Quaternary Mass‐Transport Deposit in the Northern South China Sea

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Submarine slope failure can mobilize large amounts of seafloor sediment, as shown in varied offshore locations around the world. Submarine landslide volumes are usually estimated by mapping their tops and bases on seismic data.

Evaluation of seismic demand for earthquake-triggered landslides

open access: yes, 2017
Landslides are one of the most commonly observed territorial effects after a strong-motion seismic event. Although landslides are considered a secondary hazard to human lives, as compared with the safety of the buildings, they can cause significant damage to infrastructure networks that determine problems in the immediate post-earthquake during the ...

Use of the Seismic Dilatometer (SDMT) in Landslide Research and Practice

open access: yes, 2013
This paper shows the use of the seismic dilatometer (SDMT) testing (Marchetti J Geotech Eng Division, 106:299–321, 1980; Marchetti et al. Proceedings of 2nd international flat dilatometer conference, Washington, DC, pp 7–48, 2001, In Situ tests by Seismic Dilatometer (SDMT), pp 109–138, 2008) in landslide diagnosis and monitoring.
