🏔️⚠️ Landslides are not just natural #disasters, human activity plays a major role. New research shows land-use change (#deforestation, infrastructure, agriculture) in #OurChangingMountains drives fatalities – especially in lower-income countries. 🔗 Read more: buff.ly/5iUpLaB

Anthropogenic land-cover change correlates with landslide fatalities, thereby amplifying the disadvantage of the world's poor. Built on ~60 years of data across 46 countries, this work highlights the urgent need for better planning to reduce risk. Read more here: doi.org/hbwd99

Seeing Blatten buried again and again, from every angle... Properly staggering! 😮😱

Almost forgotten today, vintage-style National Parks posters were created between 1935-1940 to invite people to the National Parks in the United States. Using AI, I attempted to employ a similar style for some landslides that have left deep marks in Türkiye. You can find some of the examples below.

Landslide hazards in the area of 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake

A new paper (Görüm et al. 2025) has examined rainfall-induced landslide hazard in the area affected by the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake.

Strong earthquakes in mountain landscapes can trigger widespread slope failures, initiating chains of multiple hydro-geomorphic hazards. These chains can amplify the geohazards and last many years following strong earthquakes. nature.com/articles/s43...

The 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake disaster was exacerbated by an atmospheric river - Communications Earth & Environment

The combination of topography, as a driver for extreme precipitation, and slope instability from seismicity contributed to the compound hazard of post-seismic rainfall-induced landslides, according to...
