The largest terrestrial coalescent landslide areas of the Earth, spanning hundreds to
thousands of square kilometres, occur along the fringes of relatively low-relief sedimentary …

Ethiopia's vulnerability to climate change is exacerbated by high poverty rates, rapid
population growth, increasing prevalence of vector-borne diseases, and heavy reliance on …

The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER), where active continental rifting creates specific conditions for
landslide formation, provides a prospective area to study the influence of tectonics, lithology …

A large number of landslide events have repeatedly struck the border zone of the
northwestern plateaus of Ethiopia. Debre Sina area is one of the most tectonically active …

Notable attractions of a geological environment in Ethiopia are described as potential for
geosites. Apart from the UNESCO-recognised sites of cultural and historical values, we …

Ground fissures, especially if they open due to a sudden collapse of the surface, is a serious
risk for populated areas. Their common occurrence in unconsolidated sediments of the Main …

Fractal geometry methods provide a quantitative description of complex landscape
networks, such as drainage patterns. This article focuses on the determination of the fractal …

Jointed rock masses, adverse lithological sequences, often deeply-weathered soil profiles,
seasonal rainfall, stream erosion and seismicity have created conditions favourable to the …

This paper presents a morphometric and structural-geomorphological approach to
identifying morphotectonic features across an area underlain by lithologies that do not easily …

The devastating nature of landslides demands a thorough understanding of their spatial
distribution and the risks they pose to human settlements and infrastructural assets. In this …
