DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2020.10.053
Abstract: Abstract The April 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha (Nepal) earthquake caused moderate liquefaction in the Kathmandu Valley. Shallow pits within these sites exposed previous earthquake induced liquefactions. The multiple exposures allow us to constrain the sand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10016-2
Abstract: In the days to weeks following an earthquake, landslides can display specific post-seismic motions, including delayed initiations and post-seismic relaxations. These motions have an uncertain origin, sometimes attributed to specificities of the landslide basal interface… read more here.
