Earthquake-induced landslides, also called seismic landslides (SLs), are some of the most
catastrophic natural hazards on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). They have frequently caused …

Mountainous regions are inherently susceptible to geohazards, such as landslides and
debris flows, with the threat of natural disasters compounded by human activities (mainly …

Coseismic landslides pose immediate and prolonged hazards to mountainous communities,
and provide a rare opportunity to study the effect of large earthquakes on erosion and …

Rainfall-initiated landslides continue to inflict damages and loss of life throughout the world.
Processes and mechanisms revealed from hydrological, geomorphic, geotechnical …

Flow-like landslides, such as debris flows and rock avalanches, travel at extremely rapid
velocities and can impact large areas far from their source. When hazards like these are …

Rock avalanches represent a serious risk for human lives, properties, and infrastructures. On
