Earthquake-triggered landslides in Panan Town, Gansu Province, China
The occurrence of earthquakes of high magnitudes in many mountain regions of the world often trigger several deep-seated landslides,debris flows,rock falls,etc.,which pose serious threats to lives and property (Keefer,1984; Sassa,1996; Harp and Jibson,2002; Huang and Li,2009;Yin et al.,2009; Sun et al.,2012).On 19 June 1718,an earthquake measuring M7.5,struck Gansu Province China,triggering more than 300 landslides near the epicenter (35.08°N,105.2°E).The effects led to the movement of the northern mountains located in the meizoseismal area of Panan Town (the old Yongning Town),to the south,resulting in the total burial of Yongnign town,with a historical record of over 30,000 deaths (Liu et al.,1984; Chen et al.,2005).This paper presents progress report of the study on the huge landslides triggered by the 1718 Tongwei earthquake,with the support of China Geological Survey (Project No.12120114035901) and NSFC (Award No.41472296 and No.41372374).
