Summary

This paper quantifies the volume balance resulting from the 2015 earthquake uplift (or subsidence) and landslide erosion. Starting from a new complete earthquake-induced landslide inventory, the calculation of Landslide volume was done by adopting different strategies for low-mobility and high-mobility landslides, considering also the potential supply of sediments to the drainage network. The results of this study show that the contribution of earthquake-induced landslides to erosion is about one order of magnitude smaller than the vertical coseismal displacement.
