The Loess Plateau is marked by intense neotectonic activity and frequent earthquakes. Its unique physico-mechanical properties, combined with the granular overhead pore structure of loess, render it prone to seismic landslides triggered by strong earthquakes.

Landslides in the northern Taihang Mountains are concentrated at elevations of 800–1300 m, on slopes over 45°, and in north‐ and northwest‐facing aspects. Proximity to rivers increases landslide frequency, whereas faults influence landslide size. Loess deposits, grasslands and forests exhibit high landslide occurrence, with barrens showing the densest ...

Rupture of the 1949 Khait Earthquake on a Cryptic Fault: Implications for Earthquake Hazard
Abstract The 1949 Mw 7.6 Khait earthquake, Tajikistan, was one of the most destructive of the Pamir—Tien Shan region, killing over 7,000 people by building collapse and landsliding. It occurred at the transition between the Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges, which converge along the narrow Vashkh river valley.

Abstract We present the first geomorphic evidence for successive, surface‐rupturing earthquakes throughout the Quaternary on the Tintina fault in the Yukon Territory, northwestern Canada. A ∼130‐km‐long series of scarps and pressure ridges offset 2.6 Ma and 132 ka landforms by ∼500–1,500 m and 65–85 m, respectively, indicating a dextral slip rate of ∼0.

Recruitment and Dispersal of Post‐Wildfire Debris Flows
Abstract Quantifying sequences of events and materials involved in the growth and dispersal of post‐wildfire debris flows across entire mountain catchments and piedmont fans is rarely possible. However, understanding these processes facilitates assessing future flow magnitudes and recurrence risk.

The Sanriku‐oki forearc basin along the Northeast Japan arc was transferred from the Cretaceous to Paleogene bay‐to‐estuarine basin restricted by the uplifted trench slope break to the Neogene open‐marine deltaic to slope basin due to a large‐scale subsidence, possibly related to the changes in the subducting plate condition.

From glaciers to large rivers: Lessons and insights from long‐term bedload monitoring
The graphic abstract is a great way to get an overview of the monitoring divisions used in the paper and the location of the monitoring sites in Austria. It's a great starting point for further analyses and it also offers insight into the catchment area.

Seasonal Frozen Soil Electrical Resistivity Estimation Based on Capillary Fractal Model
Abstract Frozen soil resistivity exhibits high sensitivity to temperature variations and ice‐water distribution. The conversion of soil water content (SWC) and resistivity based on petrophysical relationships enables the characterization of spatial distribution and changes in freezing and thawing states.
