Impacts from cascading multi-hazards using hypergraphs: a case study from the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal (2025)
Journal Article
Dunant, A., Robinson, T. R., Densmore, A. L., Rosser, N. J., Rajbhandari, R. M., Kincey, M., Li, S., Awasthi, P. R., Van Wyk De Vries, M., Guragain, R., Harvey, E., & Dadson, S. (2025). Impacts from cascading multi-hazards using hypergraphs: a case study from the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 25(1), 267-285. https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-25-267-2025

This study introduces a new approach to multi-hazard risk assessment, leveraging hypergraph theory to model the interconnected risks posed by cascading natural hazards. Traditional single-hazard risk models fail to account for the complex interrelati...

Review of landslide inventories for Nepal between 2010 and 2021 reveals data gaps in global landslide hotspot (2024)
Journal Article
Harvey, E., Kincey, M., Rosser, N., Gadtaula, A., Collins, E., Densmore, A., Dunant, A., Arrell, K., Oven, K., Basyal, G., Dhital, M. R., Robinson, T., de Vries, M., Paudyal, S., Pujara, D., & Shrestha, R. (online). Review of landslide inventories for Nepal between 2010 and 2021 reveals data gaps in global landslide hotspot. Natural Hazards, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-024-07013-1

A review of landslide inventories provides an essential assessment of the state of knowledge around landslide hazard and can guide the focus of future studies. This is especially true in Nepal, which is highly prone to landslides, but lacks a compreh...

Detection of slow‐moving landslides through automated monitoring of surface deformation using Sentinel‐2 satellite imagery (2024)
Journal Article
Van Wyk De Vries, M., Arrell, K., Basyal, G., Densmore, A., Dunant, A., Harvey, E. L., …Dadson, S. (2024). Detection of slow‐moving landslides through automated monitoring of surface deformation using Sentinel‐2 satellite imagery. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 49(4), 1397-1410. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5775

Landslides are one of the most damaging natural hazards and have killed tens of thousands of people around the world over the past decade. Slow‐moving landslides, with surface velocities on the order of 10−2–102 m a−1, can damage buildings and infras...

Pulsed carbon export from mountains by earthquake-triggered landslides explored in a reduced-complexity model (2021)
Journal Article
Croissant, T., Hilton, R. G., Li, G. K., Howarth, J., Wang, J., Harvey, E. L., Steer, P., & Densmore, A. L. (2021). Pulsed carbon export from mountains by earthquake-triggered landslides explored in a reduced-complexity model. Earth Surface Dynamics, 9(4), 823-844. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-9-823-2021

In mountain ranges, earthquakes can trigger widespread landsliding and mobilize large amounts of organic carbon by eroding soil and vegetation from hillslopes. Following a major earthquake, the landslide-mobilized organic carbon can be exported from...

Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Howarth, J. D., McClymont, E. L., Densmore, A. L., Fitzsimons, S. J., Croissant, T., Grocke, D. R., West, M. D., Harvey, E. L., Frith, N. V., Garnett, M. H., & Hilton, R. G. (2020). Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes. Science Advances, 6(23), Article eaaz6446. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaz6446

Widespread triggering of landslides by large storms or earthquakes is a dominant mechanism of erosion in mountain landscapes. If landslides occur repeatedly in particular locations within a mountain range, then they will dominate the landscape evolut...
