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 …

Among the more complex and devastating interactions between climate and
hydromorphological processes in mountain environments are landslide lake outburst floods …

Himalayan rivers are frequently hit by catastrophic floods that are caused by the failure of
glacial lake and landslide dams; however, the dynamics and long-term impacts of such …

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 …

INTRODUCTION On 25 April 2015, the Gorkha earthquake [magnitude (M) 7.8] struck Nepal,
followed by five aftershocks of≥ M 6.0 until 10 June 2015. The earthquakes killed~ 9000 …

In active mountain belts with steep terrain, bedrock landsliding is a major erosional agent. In
the Himalayas, landsliding is driven by annual hydro-meteorological forcing due to the …

Despite numerous studies on Himalayan erosion, it is not known how the very high
Himalayan peaks erode. Although valley floors are efficiently eroded by glaciers, the …

Abstract The Gorkha earthquake (Nepal, 2015, M w 7.9) triggered many landslides. The
most catastrophic mass movement was a debris avalanche that buried several villages in …

Spread over countries including Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China, the Himalayan
mountain chain, the most spectacular result of the Indo-Eurasian plate collision, is a locus of …

Landslides are the main source of sediment in most mountain ranges. Rivers then act as
conveyor belts, evacuating landslide-derived sediment. Sediment dynamics are known to …
