• Probability assessment of potential earthquake-induced landslides in the Namche Barwa Syntaxis, eastern Himalaya (2026) · Natural Hazards · doi

  Further studies can focus on improving the spatial resolution of the Seismic Ground Motion Parameters Zonation Map of China. Future research can also explore the application of other models and methods for assessing earthquake-induced landslide hazards.

• Assessment of extreme subsurface hydrologic conditions captured during atmospheric river storms in the San Francisco Bay area (California, USA) with applications to shallow landslide early warning (2026) · Landslides · doi

  The study is limited to the San Francisco Bay area and may not be generalizable to other regions. The research relies on data from a limited number of monitoring sites. The study does not account for other factors that may contribute to landslide occurrence, such as human activity.

• Modeling the combined effects of the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquake and an Atmospheric River event on landslide hazard (2026) · Natural hazards and earth system sciences · cited 1× · doi

  Existing regional hazard assessment tools typically model seismic- and rainfall-triggered landslides separately. There is a need for a rapidly deployable regional hazard model that integrates seismic and rainfall drivers with post-seismic legacy effects.

• Integrating Physical Monitoring and Social Media Analytics for Multi-dimensional Perception of Landslide Hazards (2026) · Journal of Intelligent Decision Making and Granular Computing · doi

  Existing approaches primarily characterize the physical evolution of slopes and provide limited insight into post-disaster societal impacts and public responses. There is a lack of social dimensions in traditional monitoring data for landslide disasters.

• Erzincan Havzası’nın Frekans Oranı Yöntemine Göre Heyelan Duyarlılık Analizi (2026) · Afet ve Risk Dergisi · doi

  Landslides are a significant natural hazard that can cause loss of life and property. The Erzincan Basin is prone to landslides due to its geological and geomorphological characteristics. The study faces the challenge of analyzing landslide susceptibility using a limited number of parameters.

• Kinematic-based seismic landslide risk assessment to linear projects in mountainous areas: a case study of the railway project in western China (2026) · Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment · doi

  Current practices for landslide risk assessment have limitations, particularly for linear projects. There is a need for a novel technical framework for kinematic-based seismic landslide risk assessment to linear projects.

• A case study in the research polygon in Glina and Dvor municipality, Croatia–landslide susceptibility assessment of geological units (2022) · Geologia Croatica · cited 3× · doi

  Because the research area is poorly studied regarding landslide susceptibility, relief, and drainage networks, these findings will be a step forward in recognising the relationship between them and creating a base for the development of a landslide susceptibility map for this area.
