Abstract. There have been many studies exploring rainfall-induced slope failures in earthquake-affected terrain. However, evaluating the potential effects of both landslide-triggering factors – rainfall and earthquakes infrequent despite rising global landslide mortality risk. The SE Carpathians, which subjected to large historical changing climate thus resulting frequent landslides, comprise o...

The standard application of multi-temporal, Persistent Scatterer (PS) synthetic aperture radar differential interferometry (DInSAR) techniques to the Caramanico area posed considerable problems linked to the low density of PS [1]. The application of an optimised PSI approach [2], together with an alternative, classification-based PS candidate detection method [3,4], allowed obtaining sets of PS...

In this study, we proposed three optimized models for calculating the total volume of landslides triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan, China Mw 7.9 earthquake. First, we calculated the volume of each deposit of 1,415 landslides triggered by the quake based on pre- and post-quake DEMs in 20 m resolution. The samples were used to fit the conventional landslide "volume-area" power law relationship and t...

The prediction of large-scale hydrodynamic events such as tsunami spread and run-up, dam break, flood, or landslide run-out is a challenging and important problem of applied mathematics and scientific computing. The paper presents a computational approach based on free surface flow models for fluids of complex rheology to simulate such events and phenomena with detail and prediction confidence ...

Earthquake prediction has two potentially compatible but distinctly different objectives: (a) phenomena that provide information about the future earthquake hazard useful to those who live in earthquake-prone regions and (b) phenomena causally related to the physical processes governing failure on a fault that will improve our understanding of those processes. For seismic hazard analysis in Vra...

1. introduction natural hazards have existed in all periods of human life, but nowadays due to the exponential growth of human and population density in all aspects of life, especially in high risk areas, human has been faced with major disasters such as the asia tsunami, hurricane katrina and the earthquake in sichuan of china with significant casualties even in developed countries. these haza...
