Sep 1, 2022 · Earthquake landslides have distinct distribution patterns around faults with different movement behaviors. Landslides generated by a thrust earthquake are primarily found on the fault's hanging wall.

Jun 25, 2018 · The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing near‐real‐time global earthquake‐triggered‐landslide products to augment the USGS Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) system.

Sep 17, 2018 · Long considered as a secondary effect of earthquakes, landslides triggered by earthquakes, mainly rock falls, disrupted soil slides and rock slides, mudflows and rock avalanches, can be responsible for a significant part of the damage associated with earthquakes .

Nov 29, 2022 · Here we show the activation and recovery of these earthquake accelerated landslides (EALs) in Central Italy, based on satellite radar observations.

May 7, 2019 · 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.

Sep 24, 2017 · To address these issues, we compiled EQIL inventories from around the globe based on an extensive literature study. The database contains information on 363 landslide-triggering earthquakes and includes 66 digital landslide inventories.

Fourteen types of landslides were identified in the earthquakes studied. The most abundant of these were rock falls, disrupted soil slides, and rock slides. The greatest losses of human life were due to rock avalanches, rapid soil flows, and rock falls.

In this data release, we present an up-to-date, comprehensive global database containing all literature-documented earthquake-induced landslide events for the 249-year period from 1772 through August 2021.

Feb 15, 2018 · Currently, when engineers try to predict whether earthquakes will trigger landslides in a region, they do so using calculations that include many conservative assumptions about the behavior of landslide-prone slopes.

Feb 26, 2024 · Based on the typical characteristics of earthquake-induced landslide movement, considering the influences of earthquake action, friction characteristics of sliding surfaces, topographic relief, and morphological changes in landslide masses, a widely applicable quick analysis model for earthquake-induced landslide movement (ELQA) is constructed b...
