Almost forgotten today, vintage-style National Parks posters were created between 1935-1940 to invite people to the National Parks in the United States. Using AI, I attempted to employ a similar style for some landslides that have left deep marks in Türkiye. You can find some of the examples below.

Our latest article was featured on @eos.org The Landslide Blog, eos.org/thelandslide.... Many thanks to Dave Petley for summarizing this study and increasing its visibility. I have long appreciated his contributions to the field of landslides. Thanks @davepetley.bsky.social
Landslide hazards in the area of 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake
A new paper (Görüm et al. 2025) has examined rainfall-induced landslide hazard in the area affected by the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake.

Strong earthquakes in mountain landscapes can trigger widespread slope failures, initiating chains of multiple hydro-geomorphic hazards. These chains can amplify the geohazards and last many years following strong earthquakes.

The combination of topography, as a driver for extreme precipitation, and slope instability from seismicity contributed to the compound hazard of post-seismic rainfall-induced landslides, according to...
