Spatial distributions of earthquake-induced landslides and hillslope preconditioning in northwest South Island, New Zealand (2015)
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.

Rapid sequestration of rock avalanche deposits within glaciers (2015)
Journal Article
Dunning, S., Rosser, N., McColl, S., & Reznichenko, N. (2015). Rapid sequestration of rock avalanche deposits within glaciers. Nature Communications, 6, Article 7964. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms8964

Topographic development in mountainous landscapes is a complex interplay between tectonics, climate and denudation. Glaciers erode valleys to generate headwall relief, and hillslope processes control the height and retreat of the peaks. The magnitude...

The effects of normal and shear stress wave phasing on coseismic landslide displacement (2015)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Rosser, N., Sutton, J., Snelling, K., Tunstall, N., & Petley, D. (2015). The effects of normal and shear stress wave phasing on coseismic landslide displacement. Journal of Geophysical Research, 120(6), 1009-1022. https://doi.org/10.1002/2014jf003417

Predictive models used to assess the magnitude of coseismic landslide strain accumulation in response to earthquake ground shaking typically consider slope-parallel ground accelerations only and ignore both the influence of coseismic slope-normal gro...

Quantifying the environmental controls on erosion of a hard rock cliff (2015)
Journal Article
Vann Jones (née Norman), E., Rosser, N., Brain, M., & Petley, D. (2015). Quantifying the environmental controls on erosion of a hard rock cliff. Marine Geology, 363, 230-242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2014.12.008

Linking hard rock coastal cliff erosion to environmental drivers is challenging, with weak relationships commonly observed in comparisons of marine and subaerial conditions to the timing and character of erosion. The aim of this paper is to bring tog... Read More about Quantifying the environmental controls on erosion of a hard rock cliff.
