Landslides are a key hazard in high-relief areas around the world and pose a risk to
populations and infrastructure. It is important to understand where landslides are likely to …

Major earthquakes in steep orogens can trigger extensive landsliding. Most of the landslide
bodies come to rest high on the slopes, but subsequent rainfalls can easily remobilize them …

Electronic databases of landslides seldom include the triggering mechanisms, rendering
these inventories unusable for landslide hazard modeling. We present a method for …

A high-magnitude earthquake can trigger substantial amounts of co-seismic debris and
unstable hillslopes in mountainous regions, which leads to a significant increase in the …

Landslide failure mechanisms are influenced by topography, lithology, structure and rock
mass damage–factors that also control landslide susceptibility. Failure mechanisms …

Coseismic landslides are observed in higher concentrations around surface-rupturing faults.
This observation has been attributed to a combination of stronger ground motions and …

Widespread triggering of landslides by large storms or earthquakes is a dominant
mechanism of erosion in mountain landscapes. If landslides occur repeatedly in particular …

Landslides triggered by earthquake shaking pose a significant hazard in active mountain
regions. Steep topography promotes gravitational instabilities and can amplify the seismic …

Landslide susceptibility maps indicate the spatial distribution of landslide likelihood.
Modeling susceptibility over large or diverse terrains remains a challenge due to the sparsity …

Recently, the concept of landslide path dependence has been proposed and well confirmed
in landslide studies in central Italy and the Nepal Himalaya, providing a novel perspective …
