Landslides pose a significant threat worldwide, leading to numerous fatalities and severe economic losses. The city of Manizales, located in the Colombian Andes, is particularly vulnerable due to its steep topography and permeable volcanic ash-derive...

Possible deterioration of a rock’s structure and mechanical properties due to chemical reactions between the host rock, formation water, and CO2 requires due attention. In this study, cylindrical sandstone specimens obtained from the Hanna Form...

The southeastern coastal regions of China are characterized by typical hilly terrain with abundant rainfall throughout the year, leading to frequent geological hazards. To investigate the measurement accuracy of surface deformation and the effectiven...

It is hypothesized that the present tectonic setting of the Anatolian, Aegean and Balkan regions has been deeply influenced by the different deformation styles of the inner and outer belts which constituted the Oligocene Tethyan system. Stressed by t...

Identifying locations of landslide slip surfaces provides critical information for understanding the volume of landslides and the scale of disasters, both of which are essential for formulating disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies. Based o...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most controversial tools of recent times. Offering an extremely simple operating system, users can generate texts, images, videos and even human voices. The possibility of using such a powerful tool...

Rainfall-induced shallow slope instability is a significant global hazard, often triggered by water infiltration that affects soil stability and involves dynamic changes in the hydraulic behavior of unsaturated soils. This study employs a hydro-mecha...

The water retention capacity of porous materials is crucial in various geotechnical and environmental engineering applications such as slope stability analysis, landfill management, and mining operations. Filtered tailings stacks are considered an al...

The evaluation of landslide hazards in seismic areas is based on a deterministic analysis, which is unable to account for various uncertainties in the analysis process. This paper focuses on the probabilistic local seismic hazard analysis and extends...

Earthquake forecasting is arguably one of the most challenging tasks in Earth sciences owing to the high complexity of the earthquake process. Over the past 40 years, there has been a plethora of work on finding credible, consistent and accurate eart...
