Earthquake‐Induced Chains of Geologic Hazards: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Impacts
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 421-503, June 2019., 2019 Abstract Large earthquakes initiate chains of surface processes that last much longer than the brief moments of strong shaking. Most moderate‐ and large‐magnitude earthquakes trigger landslides, ranging from small failures in the soil cover to massive, devastating rock avalanches. Some landslides dam rivers and impound lakes, which can collapse days to

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Red clay slopes have different failure modes in different geological and climatic contexts. Underlying weak layers are frequently witnessed in integral failures because of the reverse consolidation characteristics. On the contrary, heavy rainfall often causes superficial sliding for a considerable infiltration through developed microfractures. Based on

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017 Spatial patterns of shallow landslide initiation reflect both spatial patterns of heavy rainfall and areas susceptible to mass movements. We determine the areas most susceptible to shallow landslide occurrence through the calculation of critical soil ...
