The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

In mountainous areas, understanding the sizes and types of rainfall-induced landslides, and identifying areas at high risk, are critical challenges for disaster management. Shallow and deep-seated landslides are the two major types in mountainous regions,

In northern Italy rainfall-triggered shallow landslides are recurrent hazardous phenomena that cause casualties and extensive damages. In the last decades several early warning systems (EWSs) have been developed based on rainfall intensity–event duration

This study investigates the effect of incorporating the Devil's Mountain Fault (DMF) and its interaction with the Leech River Valley Fault (LRVF) on the elastic surface deformation hazard in and near the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Previously, the surface deformation hazard of the region has been characterized by considering the LRVF ...

Remote images are useful tools for detecting and monitoring landslides, including shallow landslides in agricultural environments. However, the use of non-commercial satellite images to detect the latter is limited because their spatial resolution is ...

Pressurization of Shallow Magma Reservoir Preceding Basaltic Eruptions at an Open‐Vent Volcano
Abstract Open‐vent volcanoes are characterized by the persistent activity of outgassing, lava effusion and mild explosions, which is, however, occasionally interrupted by more violent explosive activity (paroxysm), for example, Stromboli (Italy). In spite of the different (two orders of magnitude) explosive intensities and different petrological magma ...

Abstract The widespread presence of submarine permafrost in the southern Canadian Beaufort Sea provides necessary stability conditions for gas hydrates on the shallow shelf. However, the submarine permafrost is still relatively underexplored. Representing mostly relict terrestrial permafrost, submarine permafrost was formed by subaerial exposure to ...

This study aims to obtain valuable insights into forest management that can reduce the risk of shallow landslides. We developed shallow landslide susceptibility maps (SLSMs) incorporating tree height and the relative spacing index as indicators of forest

Abstract Volcanic islands are prone to flank instabilities that can generate tsunamis even when mobilized volumes are moderate. This study investigates submarine collapses during the 2011–2012 eruption south of El Hierro, which built the Tagoro submarine volcano.

Landslides are one of the most destructive geological disasters affecting Japan every year, resulting in huge losses in life and property. Numerous susceptibility studies have been conducted to minimize the risk of landslides; however, most of these ...
