Thesis shortly introduces the state of art in the field of regional scale earthquake triggered landslide studies; investigates the role of the fault geometry, coseismic slip rate and mode together with the local topographic and geomorphic differences on the size- and spatial-distribution pattern of landslides triggered by the 2002 Denali Fault (Mw 7.9) strike-slip faulting earthquake; analyses the combined effect of complex rupture dynamics, rock-type and topography on previously rarely documented pattern of nearly 4,500 landslides associated with the 2010 Haiti (Mw 7.0) earthquake; examines whether and how distinct faulting styles modulate both the abundance and spatial patterns of earthquake-induced landslides in a global and regional sense (from a global and regional viewpoint).<...
