Ice-Water Phase Change Studies in Plastic and Non-Plastic Silts by Tejo V. Bheemasetti, Calvin Tohm, Bret N. Lingwall

“…The plastic and non-plastic silts and clays in the cold regions undergo significant changes in thermal properties causing non-equilibrium thermal conditions which can lead to frost-heave, thaw-weakening, thawing-induced landslides, and mass wasting events. In geotechnical engineering, particularly in cold regions, a soil’s thermal properties play a large role in the design, functionality, and longevity of an earthen structure. …”

Evidence for middle Cretaceous accretion at Santa Elena Peninsula (Santa Rosa Accretionary Complex), Costa Rica by P. O. BAUMGARTNER, P. DENYER

“…Detrital sedimentary facies range form distal turbidites to proximal debris flows and culminate in megabreccias related to collapse and mass wasting in an accretionary prism. According to radiolarian dating, bedded radiolarites and soft-sediment-deformed clasts in the megabreccias formed in a short, late Aptian to Cenomanian time interval. …”

Prediction of the area affected by earthquake-induced landsliding based on seismological parameters by O. Marc, O. Marc, P. Meunier, N. Hovius, N. Hovius

“…This expression is based on scaling laws relating seismic moment, source depth, and focal mechanism with ground shaking and fault rupture length and assumes a globally constant threshold of acceleration for onset of systematic mass wasting. The seismological assumptions are identical to those recently used to propose a seismologically consistent expression for the total volume and area of landslides triggered by an earthquake. …”
