Landslides from the February 4, 1976, Guatemala earthquake Landslides from the February 4, 1976, Guatemala earthquake
The M (Richter magnitude) = 7.5 Guatemala earthquake of February 4, 1976, generated more than 10,000 landslides throughout an area of approximately 16,000 km2. These landslides caused hundreds of fatalities as well as extensive property damage. Landslides disrupted both highways and the railroad system and thus severely hindered early rescue efforts. In Guatemala City, extensive property...

Earthquake-triggered landslides form lakes in New Zealand Earthquake-triggered landslides form lakes in New Zealand
Eleven small lakes were formed by landslides caused by the 1929 Buller earthquake in New Zealand; four others were formed by other historic earthquakes in this country. At least nine other New Zealand lakes are dammed by landslides and were probably formed by prehistoric earthquakes. Earthquake-dammed lakes could provide an estimate of paleoseimicity for the past few hundred or thousand...

Small landslide types and controls in glacial deposits: Lower Skagit river drainage, northern cascade range, Washington Small landslide types and controls in glacial deposits: Lower Skagit river drainage, northern cascade range, Washington
Observations of 167 small, shallow landslides spanning a 22-year period on extensively logged slopes of Quaternary terraces in the lower Skagit and Baker Valleys, Washington, shows that there is a relationship between the common slope failures in this area and the slope angle, stratigraphy, and logging practices. Landslide frequency increases upvalley, as do mean annual precipitation and...

Seismic properties investigation of the Springer Ranch landslide, Powder River basin, Wyoming Seismic properties investigation of the Springer Ranch landslide, Powder River basin, Wyoming
A recent and rapid increase since the mid-1970's in commercial and residential development in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana, is caused by exploitation of vast coal and other resources in the basin. One geologic hazard to such development is landsliding. A landslide sufficiently representative of others in the area was chosen for detailed seismic studies. Studies of this...

Debris-flow deposits of Early Miocene age, Deadman Stream, Marlborough, New Zealand. Debris-flow deposits of Early Miocene age, Deadman Stream, Marlborough, New Zealand.
Detailed analysis is presented of a conformable succession of conglomerates and sandstones lying between massive marine mudstones. The coarse sediments reflect deposition by a spectrum of subaqueous debris-flow mechanisms during an early pulse of tectonism that ultimately resulted in Plio-Pleistocene eversion of the Kaikoura Mountains. Sparse pebbly mudstones and rare sandy conglomerates...
