Modeling and analysis of the 1949 Narrows landslide, Tacoma, Washington Modeling and analysis of the 1949 Narrows landslide, Tacoma, Washington
A large landslide failed catastrophically along steep, 90-m (300-ft) high bluffs overlooking the waters of Puget Sound at Tacoma, Washington, in April of 1949, three days after the region was struck by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake. The area of failure was investigated to estimate the static and seismic stability of the pre-earthquake slope and to identify factors that contributed to the...

Preliminary geomagnetic paleointensities from Long Valley Caldera, California Preliminary geomagnetic paleointensities from Long Valley Caldera, California
Paleointensities are being determined in order to characterize geomagnetic intensity variations during Quaternary time. Because the geomagnetic field acts as a shield against cosmic radiation, its intensity directly affects the production rate of radiocarbon (^C) in the upper atmosphere. Coe and others (1978) showed that the variation in dipole moment during Holocene time is nearly...

The importance of earthquake-induced landslides to long-term slope erosion and slope-failure hazards in seismically active regions The importance of earthquake-induced landslides to long-term slope erosion and slope-failure hazards in seismically active regions
This paper describes a general method for determining the amount of earthquake-induced landsliding that occurs in a seismically active region over time; this determination can be used as a quantitative measure of the long-term hazard from seismically triggered landslides as well as a measure of the importance of this process to regional slope-erosion rates and landscape evolution. The...

Potential for seepage erosion of landslide dam Potential for seepage erosion of landslide dam
The failure potential of the debris-avalanche dam at Castle Lake near Mount St. Helens, Washington, by three processes of seepage erosion (1) Heave; (2) piping; and (3) internal erosion, is examined. Results indicated that the dam is stable against piping but potentially locally unstable against heave. -from Authors
