This study aims to identify the resident awareness of landslides disaster. The objective of the study is to identify the level of resident awareness of landslides disaster in Penang. A total of 240 people representing ten of each of the six districts in the state of Penang in the sample by simple random sampling method. Data collected is analyzed using the Statistical Package For Social Science...

Until now, visual photo-interpretation techniques combined to ground survey remains the most used method to locate and characterize landslides. New perspectives in using remote sensing for landslides location are now offered by the availability of new very high spatial resolution images and by the development of object-oriented image analysis. In this context, the aim of this paper is to propos...

Submarine landslides are known to occur disproportionately in a limited number of environments including fjords, deltas, canyons, volcanic islands and the open continental slope. An evaluation of the progress that has been made in understanding Pacific Ocean submarine landslides over the last 15 years shows that mapping technologies have improved greatly, allowing a better interpretation of lan...

This study analyzes multi-temporal LiDAR data of high accuracy and high resolution by installing a geomorphometric model for extracting landslides. First, two sets of LiDAR data were acquired for before and after a heavy rainfall event. The landslides which took place from 2005 to 2009 were classified automatically by satellite images, and subsequently the landslides were interpreted and edited...

Romania represents one of Europe’s countries with high landslides occurrence frequency. Landslide hazard maps are designed by considering the interaction of several factors which, by their joint action may affect the equilibrium state of the natural slopes. The aim of this paper is landslides hazard assessment using the methodology provided by the Romanian national legislation and a very largel...

by Craig Abram Jordan, M.S. Washington State University Chair: Balasingam Muhunthan Landslides constitute a major geological hazard in the world due to their high financial cost and their nondiscriminatory nature. The Olympic Region of Washington State has many potential triggers of landslides, but prolonged periods of high rainfall is the most commonly attributed trigger of landslides. The cur...

While there is abundant geomorphologic evidence for landslides in Iceland, it is in most cases unknown whether or not these landslides are actively creeping. Here we use Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to assess its monitoring capabilities on three landslides that are known to be creeping and to survey large areas in East and Central-North Iceland in search for other creeping l...

A high resolution Digital Elevation Model with a ground resolution of 2 m×2 m (DEM2) was obtained for the Collazzone area, central Umbria, through weighted linear interpolation of elevation points acquired by Airborne Lidar Swath Mapping. Acquisition of the elevation data was performed on 3 May 2004, following a rainfall period that resulted in numerous landslides. A reconnaissance field survey...

The analysis of the propagation phase plays a fundamental role in the assessment and forecasting of risks related to the occurrence of submerged and coastal landslides. At present there are few numerical models able to simulate the propagation of such a type of events. This paper presents fully 3D models and approaches developed by the authors and suitable for the simulation of both completely ...

There is much interest on the occurrence of water and ice in the past history of Mars. Because landslides on Mars are much better conserved than their terrestrial counterparts, a physical examination and morphological analysis can reveal significant details on the depositional environment at the instant of failure. A study of the landslides in Valles Marineris based on their physical aspect is ...
