While the triggering process of landslides remains are multiple, the importance of seismic waves is well established. The leading approach to study coseismic landslides is through statistical studies or simple models such as the Newmark method. While providing useful information, these approaches fall short at predicting landslide triggering...
Temporary seismic networks installed in urban areas provide a powerful tool for investigating the shal-low geological structure and assess the seismic hazard using seismic interferometry. Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is located in a high seismic zone, placed at 200 km from the Pacific sub-duction zone and surrounded by crustal-faults prone to...
