Interferometry SAR for landslide Hazard Assessment in Garhwal Himalaya, India
Landslides are a major geological hazard in Garhwal Himalayas, since they are widespread dynamic processes that cause damage, and even loss of life, every year. Development of urban areas, Highway construction and expanded land use in Garhwal Himalaya mountain regions has increased the incidence of landslide disasters. The enormous damage caused by landslides can be reduced by means of monitori...
متن کاملLandslide Hazard and Its Mapping Using Remote Sensing and Gis
Landslides are amongst the most damaging natural hazards in the mountainous terrain like Himalaya. The study of landslides has drawn worldwide attention mainly due to increasing awareness of socio-economic impacts of landslides. Remote sensing images provide many useful land use information to combine in a GIS environment with other spatial factors influencing the occurrence of landslide. The l...
متن کاملLandslide Hazard Zonation Using Quantitative Methods in GIS
Landslides are major natural hazards which not only result in the loss of human life but also cause economic burden on the society. Therefore, it is essential to develop suitable models to evaluate the susceptibility of slope failures and their zonations. This paper scientifically assesses various methods of landslide susceptibility zonation in GIS environment. A comparative study of Weights of...
متن کاملTsunami Vulnerability Mapping Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques: A Case Study of Kollam District, Kerala, India
Tsunamis are caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a sea. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water have the potential to generate a tsunami. The coastal areas of Kollam district, the present study area was seriously affected by the catastr...
متن کاملAn assessment of landslide susceptibility in the Faifa area, Saudi Arabia, using remote sensing and GIS techniques
An integrated approach was adopted over Faifa Mountain and its surroundings, in Saudi Arabia, to identify landslide types, distribution, and controlling factors, and to generate landslide susceptibility maps. Given the inaccessibility of the area, we relied on remote sensing observations and GIS-based applications to enable spatial analysis of data and extrapolation of limited field observation...
