Three (nearly) complete inventories of landslides triggered by the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan Mw 7.9 earthquake of China and their spatial distribution statistical analysis
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper compared three (nearly) complete landslide inventories that were compiled from visual image interpretation, which differ in the manner in which the landslides are represented, either as polygons, centroid points, or top points.

Earthquake-Induced Chains of Geologic Hazards: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Impacts
Xuanmei Fan,Gianvito Scaringi,Gianvito Scaringi,Oliver Korup,A. Joshua West,Cees J. van Westen,Hakan Tanyas,Niels Hovius,Tristram Hales,Randall W. Jibson,Kate E. Allstadt,Li Min Zhang,Stephen G. Evans,Chong Xu,Gen Li,Xiangjun Pei,Qiang Xu,Runqiu Huang +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze how earthquakes trigger landslides and highlight research gaps, and suggest pathways toward a more complete understanding of the seismic effects on the Earth's surface, highlighting research gaps.

Remote Sensing for Landslide Investigations: An Overview of Recent Achievements and Perspectives
TL;DR: An overview on the applications of remote-sensing techniques for the three categories of landslide investigations is given, focusing on the achievements of the last decade, being that previous studies have already been exhaustively reviewed in the existing literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an evaluation system to help users assess the suitability of the available inventories for different types of earthquake-induced landslide studies and model development, as well as the underlying characteristics of landslide size, topographic slope, roughness, local relief, distance to streams, peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity.

Landslides caused by earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the characteristics, geologic environments, and hazards of landslides caused by seismic events and found that the maximum area likely to be affected by landslides in a seismic event increases from approximately 0 at M ≅ 4.0 to 500,000 km2 at M = 9.2.

Journal ArticleDOI
Landslide inventories and their statistical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined three well-documented landslide events, from Italy, Guatemala and the USA, each with a different triggering mechanism, and found that the landslide areas for all three are well approximated by the same three-parameter inverse-gamma distribution.
