Landslide hazards in the area affected by the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake
The Landslide Blog is written by Dave Petley, who is widely recognized as a world leader in the study and management of landslides. It is well-established that landslides are a major threat during earthquakes in mountain areas. In the last few decades, it has become increasingly clear that the first very major rainfall event after […]
