Landslides and liquefaction from the 24 June 2026 “double tap” earthquakes in Venezuela
The Landslide Blog is written by Dave Petley, who is widely recognized as a world leader in the study and management of landslides. The news this morning of the “double tap” M=7.2 and M=7.5 earthquakes in Venezuela late on 24 June 2026 is grim. These are large earthquakes in their own right occurring at a […]
