Hello, I am a college student and currently researching the 2015 Nepal earthquake. In you code, you mentioned comparing it with reference literature, but I don't quite understand. How should I compare to other earthquake? How should I organize the data format? And I only have the triggered landslide shapefile, and I can down the magnitude data from USGS. I download your data to check in Matlab, but I cannot figure it out. I appreciate your assistance. Thank you for your help. Best regards. image

Hi, thanks for your message. The “landslides” matlab code will compare the info on Mw, number of landslides and affected area of your dataset (e.g., the Nepal case history) with other earthquake-triggered landslide datasets. The data about other earthquakes are included in the “keefer”, “rodriguez” and “Malamud” .m files. The plot in the upper left will return the info on Mw vs affected area, using the datasets by keefer and rodriguez. The plot in the upper right returns Mw vs number of landslides, showing the reference data by Malamud. Hope this helps, francesca

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. Your response is super helpful, and the datasets you provided are exactly what I needed. And I have one more question: could you tell me the reference of data? I’d love to include that info in my presentation and make sure I’m giving proper credit. Thanks again for everything!
