Journal Article
Parker, R., Hancox, G., Petley, D., Massey, C., Densmore, A., & Rosser, N. (2015). Spatial distributions of earthquake-induced landslides and hillslope preconditioning in northwest South Island, New Zealand. Earth Surface Dynamics, 3(4), 501-525. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-3-501-2015

Current models to explain regional-scale landslide events are not able to account for the possible effects of the legacy of previous earthquakes, which have triggered landslides in the past and are known to drive damage accumulation in brittle hillsl...

Towards disaster resilience: A scenario-based approach to co-producing and integrating hazard and risk knowledge (2015)
Journal Article
Davies, T., Beaven, S., Conradson, D., Densmore, A., Gaillard, J., Johnston, D., …Wilson, T. (2015). Towards disaster resilience: A scenario-based approach to co-producing and integrating hazard and risk knowledge. International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 13, 242-247. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2015.05.009

Quantitative risk assessment and risk management processes are critically examined in the context of their applicability to the statistically infrequent and sometimes unforeseen events that trigger major disasters. While of value when applied at regi... Read More about Towards disaster resilience: A scenario-based approach to co-producing and integrating hazard and risk knowledge.

Sediment storage and release from Himalayan piggyback basins and implications for downstream river morphology and evolution (2015)
Journal Article
Densmore, A., Sinha, R., Sinha, S., Tandon, S., & Jain, V. (2016). Sediment storage and release from Himalayan piggyback basins and implications for downstream river morphology and evolution. Basin Research, 28(4), 446-461. https://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12116

Piggyback basins developed at the mountain fronts of collisional orogens can act as important, and transient, sediment stores along major river systems. It is not clear, however, how the storage and release of sediment in piggyback basins affects the...

Controls on fluvial evacuation of sediment from earthquake-triggered landslides (2015)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Jin, Z., Hilton, R., Zhang, F., Densmore, A., Li, G., & West, A. (2015). Controls on fluvial evacuation of sediment from earthquake-triggered landslides. Geology, 43(2), 115-118. https://doi.org/10.1130/g36157.1

Large earthquakes in active mountain belts can trigger landslides, which mobilize large volumes of clastic sediment. Delivery of this material to river channels may result in aggradation and flooding, while sediment residing on hillslopes may increas...
