Modern gravitational-waves astronomy is moving underground. Geological units act as noise-dampening covers to isolate highly sensitive gravitational-wave detectors from ambient noise disturbances, which poses challenges for the siting, planning, and construction of detectors. The current feasibility study for the Einstein Telescope (ET), the European third-generation gravitational-waves detector, aims to find the most suitable...

The formation and failure of landslide dams is an important and understudied, multi-hazard topic. A framework of landslide dam formation susceptibility evaluation was designed for large-scale studies to avoid the traditional dependence on landslide volume calculations based on empirical relationships, which requires comprehensive local inventories of landslides and landslide dams. The framework combines logistic regression lan...

To address the current data and understanding knowledge gap in landslide dam inventories related to geomorphological parameters, a new global-scale landslide dam dataset named River Augmented Global Landslide Dams (RAGLAD) was created. RAGLAD is a collection of landslide dam records from multiple data sources published in various languages and many of these records we have been able to precisely geolocate. In total, 779 landsl...
