  • This study examines the FADs of 45 earthquake‐induced landslide inventories from around the world in the context of the proposed explanations. We show that each inventory probably involves some combination of the proposed explanations, though not all explanations contribute to each case. We propose an alternative explanation to understand the reason for the divergence from a power‐law. We suggest that the geometry of a landslide at the time of mapping reflects not just one single movement but many, including the propagation of numerous smaller landslides before and after the main failure. Because only the resulting combination of these landslides can be observed due to a lack of tempo...

  • Earthquake-induced landslide (EQIL) inventories are essential tools to extend our knowledge ofthe relationship between earthquakes and the landslides they can trigger. Regrettably, such inventoriesare difficult to generate and therefore scarce, and the available ones differ in terms of their quality and levelof completeness. Moreover, access to existing EQIL inventories is currently difficult because there is nocentralized database. To address these issues, we compiled EQIL inventories from around the globe based onan extensive literature study. The database contains information on 363 landslide-triggering earthquakesand includes 66 digital landslide inventories. To make these data op...
