• Quantifying the Sensitivity of Progressive Landslide Movements to Failure Geometry, Undercutting Processes and Hydrological Changes (2019) · Journal of Geophysical Research Earth Surface · cited 25× · doi

  The rate of landslide advance and potential for sustained movement has previously been studied in the context of hydrological factors, such as dilative or contractive pore pressure response, but the sensitivity of realistic landslide geometry subject to toe erosion is not well quantified.

• Evolutionary controls on post-seismic new landslides revealed by multi-earthquake inventories (2026) · Landslides · doi

  The effects of strong ground shaking on mass wasting can persist for months to years after the main shock. The recovery time for landslide rates remains debated. The study must account for various factors, including topography, lithology, and precipitation, that influence post-seismic new landslides.

• Landslide dam activity in Flysch Zone of the Eastern Carpathian, Romania: distribution, stability, and failure mechanism assessment (2026) · Landslides · doi

  Landslide dams can cause significant material losses and disrupt local and regional watercourse connectivity. The study area is prone to extreme rainfall events, which can trigger landslide dam formation. There is a need for effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of landslide dam formation.

• Hydro-mechanical triggering mechanism of the delayed Jure landslide: Critical role of progressive infiltration from the confluence area in Southern Himalaya (2026) · Landslides · doi

  There is a lack of understanding of the hydro-mechanical triggering mechanism of delayed landslides. The study aims to fill this gap by investigating the Jure landslide in Nepal. The study uses a multidisciplinary approach to understand the complex interactions of geological, topographical, hydrological, and anthropogenic factors that contribute to delayed landslides.
