Towns undergoing changes: a case study on the recovery after the Wenchuan earthquake, China
… normal development procedures. The devastating Wenchuan Earthquake in China occurred on May 12, 2008, and its recovery process provides a unique case for post-disaster recovery research with its rapid reconstruction under a government-led top-down process, in particular a national counterpart …

Landsliding and sediment dynamics following the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in the Beichuan area of China
… once the shaking has stopped. The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in China resulted in widespread landsliding, generating large volumes of loose rock and soil. Examples from other recent large earthquakes warn of the potential secondary hazards associated with such loose material: up to 30m of …

Investigations of the b-value and its variations on possible earthquake prediction in the North-South China Seismic Belt
… dataset, there is the catastrophic 2008 M = 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake. The b-value time series are computed in two different ways, the time-based method and the event-based method. Moving windows and overlapping windows are used in both ways. Our results calculated with the event-based method show …
