A surprising but important discovery on the timing of cracking-sliding failures landslides in China
A new paper (Li et al. 2018) in the journal Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences makes a surprising but important discovery on the timing of “cracking-sliding failure” loess landslides in China

Shaking table tests of the Newmark displacement method for earthquake induced landslides
In a new paper just published in Landslides, Li et al. (2018) use a shaking table model to show that the Newmark displacement method overestimates the critical acceleration value for earthquake induced landslides

The Karrat Fjord rock avalanche: a new paper examining the 3D geometry
In a paper just published in the journal Landslides, Gauthier et al. 2017 use a 3D reconstruction to estimate that the tsunamigenic June 2017 Karrat Fjord rock avalanche in Greenland had a volume of 58 million cubic metres.

Cromwell Gorge: earthquake-induced groundwater changes in very deep-seated landslides
In new paper, O’Brien et al. (2016) report that regional earthquakes generate substantial changes in the groundwater level in landslides in Cromwell Gorge, New Zealand
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.
