2004;Wang et al. It had a magnitude of 7.5 and triggered a series of landslides that together led to 7,200 deaths. Moreover, inverse grading in the deposit and a substrate characterized by clast-supported pebbles with imbricate structures are also observed.
Our data indicates that a total of approximately 7200 people were killed by earthquake-triggered landslides in the epicentral region of the Khait earthquake and that, in terms of loss of life, the 1949 Yasman valley loess flow was one of the most destructive landslides in recent history.All content in this area was uploaded by Keith B. DelaneySummary parameters of the 1949 Khait rockslide-loess flow, Tajikistan.Isoseisms based on degree of damage to kishlaks in the Khait area (modified after Fig. The work IPL-167 is still ongoing . For this run up Eq. The World Factbook. Applying the correction factor forthe 1949 population estimate noted above, the average population ofarea was around 180 people in the late nineteenth century. Nature/Science Annual. . In: Evans, S.G., Scarascia-Mugnozza, G., Strom, A.L., Hermanns, R.L.
The measured values of mean annual precipitation in Nepal range from a low of approximately 250 mm at area north of the Himalaya to many areas exceeding 6,000 mm. BerkshireDodonov, A.E., 1991.
These landslides involved widespread rock-slope failure as well as large numbers of flowslides in loess that mantles the steep slopes of the region.

Rautian, 2006, personal communication) to 28,000 (the source and basis of these estimates are not given in the respectivepublications and, further, it is not clear whether the deathcases refers to that in the Khait landslide alone or to the total fatalitiesin earthquake-triggered landslides in the Khait earthquake epicentralregion. In the continuous permafrost regions on the plateau, the annual mean temperature has risen by 0.1–0.2°C, while in the discontinuous permafrost regions the annual mean temperature has risen by 0.2–0.5°C from 1995 to 2002. 5 in Leonov, 1960). Further, the length of the deposit, the location of maximumthickness and the distal thinning of the debris are simulated quite wellwith the pattern of deposition corresponding generally to that ob-6. These landslides involved widespread rock-slope failure as well as large numbers of flowslides in loess that mantles the steep slopes of the region. Loess in the Khait area is typically a massivetan- to yellow-coloured silt. Usoi dam wave overtopping and routing in the Bartang and Panj rivers, Tajikistan. / Engineering Geology 109 (2009) 195) the landslide has not been previously documented in detail.A), located on a terrace above the right bank of the Obi-Kabud, we estimate the volume of the failed rock mass (beforerst 3120 m of movement, up to a maximum of 1000 m below theow. 2nd Pan-American Symposium on Landslides, RioCentral Intelligence Agency, 2007. Horizontal compression and folding in the Peter I Range.Skobelev, S.F., Florenskiy, P.V., 1974. Finally, the work carried out will help practitioners as they can now have all swarm intelligence approaches combined in one paper and will help in
