Landslides and Countermeasures in Western Japan: Historical Largest Landslide in Unzen and Earthquake-Induced Landslides in Aso, and Rain-Induced Landslides in Hiroshima
This paper introduces three catastrophic landslide disasters on the tectonic orogenic belt in Western Japan caused by rainfalls or earthquakes and...

Submarine landslides and tsunami genesis in Sagami Bay, Japan, caused by the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake
The 1923 Great Kanto earthquake occurred on September 1, in Japan, and caused severe damage mainly in the Kanto region. Tsunamis were observed over...

Impact pressure of waves generated by landslides on bank slopes
Impulse waves that are generated by landslides in narrow reservoir areas threaten the stability of buildings and bank slopes. To discuss the action...

Numerical simulation of landslide-generated tsunamis in lakes: A case study of the **luodu Reservoir
China has planned and built several world-class cascade high dams in **sha River, Dadu River, Lancang River, and Yarlung Zangbo River. The complex...

Human amplification of secondary earthquake hazards through environmental modifications
Anthropogenic climate change and modification of landscapes — such as deforestation, sediment movement, irrigation and sea-level rise — can...

Earthquake-Induced Landslides and Related Problems
The world has faced serious landslide problems since the beginning of the twenty-first century when gigantic earthquakes occurred in Pakistan, China,...

Generation and prediction of water waves induced by rigid piston-like landslide
Accurate prediction of water waves generated by landslides is of significant importance in the early warning and risk assessment of landslide...

Local and Trans-oceanic Tsunamis in the Bering and Chukchi Seas Based on Numerical Modeling
We have examined the tsunami hazard in the Bering and Chukchi seas by determining whether trans-oceanic tsunamis penetrate into these regions through...

Landslide Induced Tsunami Hazard at Volcanoes: the Case of Santorini
The destructive tsunami on 22 December 2018 due to the flank collapse of the Anak Krakatau volcano was a bitter reminder of large tsunami risks and...

Submarine Landslides
Submarine landslide is a downward movement of unconsolidated loose sediments or rocks.

A Geospatial Review Analysis of Increased Frequency of Large Glacier-Related Landslides in Mountainous Regions
As the world warms, many glaciers throughout the world are melting. Glacier melting has been linked to climate change as a major cause of landslides...

River-damming landslides during the 1960 Chile earthquake (M9.5) and earlier events: implications for risk assessment in the San Pedro River basin
Damming rivers by landslides and ensuing outburst flooding is a common and potentially hazardous phenomenon worldwide, especially in tectonically...

Comprehensive risk management of reservoir landslide-tsunami hazard chains: a case study of the Liangshui**g landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area
Landslide-induced tsunamis in reservoirs often pose greater risks than landslides themselves. Existing studies and mitigation practices have...

Spatial distribution, temporal trends and impact of landslides on São Miguel Island from 1900 to 2020 based on an analysis of the Azores historical natural hazards database
Landslides are the most frequent type of natural hazard in the Azores archipelago, primarily due to the volcanic nature and geomorphologic features...

Study of caspian Sea tsunami caused by a potential submarine landslide triggered due to seismic activity of the faulting system of the northern Iranian plateau
This study examines a significant accumulation of deposits on an abnormal slope in the southern Caspian Sea, which is believed to be a potential...
-
Influence of impulse waves generated by rocky landslides on the pressure exerted on bank slopes
Rocky landslides on river banks can result in the generation of ultra-high waves, which may destroy structures on the opposite bank. Existing methods...

Landslide-induced tsunami simulation based on progressive landslide-shallow water equation coupling model: 1946 Aleutian tsunami case
Impulse waves result from submarine or subaerial landslides colliding with water. To model this multiphase disaster, it is imperative to gain a...
