| Abstract | When large earthquakes strike mountainous regions, they often trigger widespread landslides that threaten communities, damage infrastructure, and disrupt water and sediment systems. These cascading hazards have far-reaching consequences, influencing river systems, water quality, and carbon transport. Understanding earthquake-induced landslides is therefore important not only for reducing disaster risks abroad, but also for improving hazard assessment and infrastructure resilience in the United S |
