Abstract: In recent years, against the backdrop of the risk of heavy rainfall brought about by global warming, geological disasters on the Loess Plateau have shown new trends of change. They often form a chain of geological disasters in the loess Plateau in a chain-like form, which frequently possess characteristics such as high frequency, concealment, catastrophic nature and complexity. It is urgent to clarify the development characteristics of the geological disaster chain on the Loess Plateau and classify it scientifically and systematically. Based on extensive research and summary of the classification of various geological disasters in the Loess Plateau region, a comprehensive analysis of typical geological disaster chains in the Loess Plateau region was conducted through a large number of field investigations, unmanned aerial vehicle aerial surveys, and indoor remote sensing image analyses. The geological disaster chain of the Loess Plateau was systematically summarized from several aspects such as disaster types, controlling interface, geomorphology, dynamic causes, causal relationships and formation eras. A classification system of six major categories and 25 subspecies of geological disaster chains of the Loess Plateau was proposed. The development characteristics and disaster formation patterns of typical geological disaster chains of loess were summarized. It reveals the chain structure of typical loess geological disaster chains and the influence relationships among them. This research can provide theoretical references for the prevention and control of geological disaster chains in the Loess Plateau, and is conducive to the implementation of targeted disaster reduction and prevention work for the loess disaster chain.
