Comment on 'Spatial distribution analysis of landslides triggered by 2008.5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake, China' by Shengwen Qi, Qiang Xu, Hengxing Lan, Bing Zhang, Jianyou Liu [Engineering Geology 116 (2010) 95-108]

摘要

Landslides triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake have received much attention after the earthquake due to the tragic loss of life and economic devastation caused by them. The correlation between landslide occurrences and distance from seismogenic fault is important for understanding the spatial distribution of landslides, and the paper written by Shengwen Qi et al. presented an interesting result in this regard. However, we have some uncertainties to discuss with the authors.
