abstract aim of this research is landslide hazard zoning in syahdare watershed using logistic regression. therefore, outset landslide points recognized using air photography and extensive field studies. then distribution of landslide map was makes. then each effective element on landslide occurred for example slope, aspect, elevation, litho logy, land use, distance of road, distance of drainage...

abstract this survey accomplished for asessment and mechanism recognition of chenaran watershed landslide effective factors and its zonation based via lim model. primarily recognized effective factors, through studing and field survey and evaluated by landslide index method(lim) then based on their weight in model, landslide hazard zonation was done.then evaluated this model competence in zonat...

Landslide is one of the major natural hazards the world is facing. It happens as a result of both man-made as well as natural factors. It causes severe effects on the environment as well as for the mankind. The main triggering factors of landslide are rainfall/snowfall, tectonic activities and human activities. There are many methods adopted for controlling landslides. The study was carried out...

In the framework of the on-going SLAM project (Service for Landslide Monitoring), funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) the Permanent Scatterers processing and the analysis of high resolution images (e.g. SPOT5) have been performed at a basin scale, on the whole territory of the Arno River basin (Central Italy). The project aims at the development of a service based on the integration of EO...

At 14:28 (Beijing time) on 12 May 2008, the catastrophic Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred just west of the Sichuan basin, China, causing severe damage and numerous casualties. It also triggered a large number of landslides, rock avalanches, debris flows etc. Some of the landslides formed natural dams in the rivers, with the potential secondary hazard of subsequent flooding. Through the inter...

Environmental attributes relevant for spatial prediction of landslides triggered by rain and snowmelt events were derived from digital elevation model (DEM). Those data in conjunction with statistics and geographic information system (GIS) provided a detailed basis for spatial prediction of landslide hazard. The spatial prediction of landslide hazard in this paper is based on discriminant analy...

a r t i c l e i n f o Multi-temporal ALOS/PALSAR images are used to automatically investigate landslide activity over an area of ~ 200 km by ~ 350 km in northern California and southern Oregon. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) deformation images, InSAR coherence maps, SAR backscattering intensity images, and a DEM gradient map are combined to detect active landslides by setting ...

One of the ultimate goals in landslide hazard assessment is to predict maximum landslide extension and velocity. Despite much work, the physical processes governing energy dissipation during these natural granular flows remain uncertain. Field observations show that large landslides travel over unexpectedly long distances, suggesting low dissipation. Numerical simulations of landslides require ...
