DOI: 10.1007/s00704-018-2673-4
Abstract: Climate change is now unequivocal; however, the type and extent of terrestrial impacts are still widely debated. Among these, the effects on slope stability are receiving a growing attention in recent years, both as terrestrial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-68449-6
Abstract: Since the giant 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, much research has focused on the distribution of coseismic slip at shallow depths during this subduction megathrust event. Here we present seismic images obtained in the immediate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1061/(asce)nh.1527-6996.0000207
Abstract: AbstractIn Hong Kong, rain-induced shallow slope failures are recognized as one of the most catastrophic hazards due to Hong Kong’s hilly terrain and frequent heavy storms. Due to climate changes, extreme storms are expected to… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/nhess-17-2093-2017
Abstract: Abstract. We discuss here different challenges and limitations of surveying rock slope failures using 3-D reconstruction from image sets acquired from street view imagery (SVI). We show how rock slope surveying can be performed using… read more here.
