Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.Comparison between observed and predicted landslide areas in log scale. ABSTRACT This study aims to establish a regional model for predicting seismic landslide areas. Using the 2013 Minxian earthquake‐induced landslide database as the research foundation, mathematical statistics and GIS techniques were applied to predict landslide areas through the ...

Evaluation of indirect loss from hypothetical catastrophes in two regions with different economic development levels in China [PDF]
, 2012 This study evaluates and compares the indirect economic loss (IEL) resulting from two hypothetical catastrophes occurring in China – in developed Shanghai and in less-developed Sichuan – to provide new measures of disaster reduction. IEL was divided into

Inelastic Dilatancy as a Mechanism for Coseismic Fluid Depressurization of a Shallow Fault Zone
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Hydrologic observations and experimental studies indicate that inelastic dilation from coseismic fault damage can cause substantial pore pressure reduction, yet most near‐fault hydromechanical models ignore such inelastic effects. Here, we present a 3‐D groundwater flow model incorporating the effects of inelastic dilation based on an ...

What are Some Best HR Practices in Response to Natural Disasters in Terms of Training and Communication? [PDF]
, 2013 Today’s world is defined by, among other characteristics, borderless and unconventional threats, global challenges, and fast-paced change. HR has not been initially designed to organize or oversee crisis management.

Source rupture process inversion of the 2013 Lushan earthquake, China
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2013 The spatial and temporal slip distribution of the Lushan earthquake was estimated using teleseismic body wave data. To perform a stable inversion, we applied smoothing constraints and determined their optimal relative weights on the observed data using ...

Is It Possible to Predict Strong Earthquakes?
, 2014 The possibility of earthquake prediction is one of the key open questions in modern geophysics. We propose an approach based on the analysis of common short-term candidate precursors (2 weeks to 3 months prior to strong earthquake) with the subsequent ...
