This book has two main aims: to demonstrate to international development agencies, governments, policy makers, project managers, practitioners, and community residents that landslide hazard can often be reduced in vulnerable urban communities in the developing ...

This study investigates the formation process of rainfall-induced landslide for slopes composed of loose soil in the Wenchuan earthquake region. Experimental investigations have been performed on the landslide’s formation and the variation of the controlling ...

<p>Any earthquake can trigger more earthquakes. This triggering occurs in both the classical aftershock zone as well as the far field. These populations of triggered earthquakes may or may not be distinct in terms of triggering mechanism. Here we look for ...

Near-real-time monitoring of active landslides or landslide-prone hillslopes can provide immediate notification of landslide activity, as well as high-quality data sets for understanding the initiation and movement of landslides. Typical components of ground-based, ...

Tidal triggering evidence of intermediate earthquakes in the Vrancea region (Romania) is investigated. The Vrancea seismic zone is located in the bend region of the South-Eastern Carpathians (45◦–46◦ N, 25.5◦–27.5◦E) and is known as one of the most active ...
