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 …

The blocking of river courses by mass movements is very common in mountainous areas
with deep and narrow valleys. Landslide dams may pose serious threats to people and their …

Landslides are present in all continents, and play an important role in the evolution of
landscapes. They also represent a serious hazard in many areas of the world. Despite their …

Soil–rock mixtures (S–RM) which formed in the quaternary period are a type of extremely

Landslide dams are a common phenomenon. They form when a landslide reaches the
bottom of a river valley causing a blockage. The first effect of such a dam is the infilling of a …

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the behaviour of dry granular flows
generated by the collapse of prismatic columns via 3D Distinct Element Method (DEM) …

Abstract On 11 October 2018, the Baige landslide in Southwest China blocked the **sha
River and induced waves amplifying the landslide-affected area significantly. Devastating …

Sediments link hillslopes to river channels. The size of sediments entering channels is a key
control on river morphodynamics across a range of scales, from channel response to human …

Detailed sedimentological studies concerning different facies types and the factors
influencing their development (such as lithology, topography, substrates, etc.) were carried …
