Earthflow reactivation assessment by multichannel analysis of surface waves and electrical resistivity tomography: A case study

In this study, we investigated the stability and reactivation of preexisting Tonghua landslide deposits in China, including the adjacent stable slope. We used an integrated approach, combining a multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). We used ERT to...
