Geomorphometry and Statistical Analyses of Landslides Triggered by the 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha Earthquake and the Mw 7.3 Aftershock, Nepal

Geomorphometry and Statistical Analyses of Landslides Triggered by the 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha Earthquake and the Mw 7.3 Aftershock, Nepal

The 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal and the Mw 7.3 aftershock triggered at least 22,914 landslides that each had areas ≥500 m2 and lengths and widths ≥20 m. Amongst these landslides, 2,059 had areas >10,000 m2. Analyses of the landslide geometry, using length (L), width (W), height (H,...
