C. I. Massey,M. J. Olsen,J. Wartman,A. Senogles,B. Lukovic,B. A. Leshchinsky,G. Archibald,N. Litchfield,R. Van Dissen,S. de Vilder,C. Holden First published: JGR Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 3, 16 March 2022 https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JF006400 Evidence from previous earthquakes suggests that the frequency of land sliding after a large earthquake is significantly higher than before it. Strong earthquakes cause slope […]
