Satellite observations have revealed that weak seismic ground shaking can trigger powerful landslide acceleration – even several years after a significant earthquake.

Along coastal California, the possibility of earthquakes and landslides are commonly prefaced by the phrase, “not if, but when.” This precarious reality is now a bit more predictable thanks to ...

Landslides cause more than a billion dollars in damage in the United States each year, according to the American Geoscience Institute. Predicting them could soon be a lot easier.

New maps of more than 1,000 deep-seated landslides in the Puget Lowlands of Washington State provide evidence of the last major earthquake along the Seattle Fault about 1,100 years ago -- and may ...

In a previous study, Li had measured the number of landslides caused by the Wenchuan Earthquake by painstakingly comparing satellite images of the Longmen Mountains from before and after May 2008.
