Download a free copy of my Geology paper “Global Patterns of Loss of Life from Landslides”
Posted by Dave Petley
Durham University has now paid the page charges for the my recent paper in Geology, which means that for the next two years it can be downloaded for free. This is the URL:
This work is based on my fatality database, about which I posted a couple of weeks ago.
I hope you enjoy it. Comments and questions (and citations ;-)) welcome.
Dave Petley is the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. His blog provides commentary and analysis of landslide events occurring worldwide, including the landslides themselves, latest research, and conferences and meetings.
Dear Prof. Petley, I am trying in different ways (with no success so far) to contact you for a question regarding his recent 2012 paper published in Geology. More specifically, I would be interested in knowing if the dataset presented in this paper would be available for research purposes.
I am mainly working with space borne SAR interferometry and I would be curious to investigate how many of the fatal landslides reported in the database 2004-2010 would have reported some surface deformation prior to their failure.
Looking forward to hearing from you….
