Legacy of Pre-Phase Landslides: Impact on Post-Seismic Landslide Susceptibility

A new study delves into the long-lasting effects of pre-phase landslides on future landslide occurrences and evaluates the susceptibility of regions prone to seismic events. The study was conducted by a research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences, with the research results published in the International Journal of Digital Earth on Oct. 18, aiming to establish a robust post-seismic landslide susceptibility model and unravel the spatio-temporal dynamics of landslide vulnerability.
