Landslide generated tsunamis are lesser-known yet equally destructive than earthquake tsunamis. Indeed, the highest tsunami wave recorded in recent history was generated by a landslide in Lituya Bay (Alaska, July 9, 1958) and produced runup in excess of 400 m. In this paper, we review the state of the art of landslide tsunami analytical modelling. Within the framework of a linearised shallowwat...

The degree of hazard due to landslide in any region is difficult to assess manually. An automated system having capability to correlate causes contributing automated landslide hazard is expected to be an efficient alternative. The objective of this paper is to explain LHAZ (Landslide Hazard Automated Zonation) system, an automated system that has been developed to determine the intensity and ex...

Landslide susceptibility mapping is one of the required activities in landslide prone area. This is intended to recognize the spatial probability of landslide as an action to minimize the upcoming impact. Landslide susceptibility map can be used as supporting information in spatial planning process as well, particularly in restricting landslide prone area as free of development zone . Currently...

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 ...

Landslide hazards are one of the major natural hazards. It is difficult not only to get the integrated and accurate landslide datum but also to monitor and predict the landslide. This paper introduces a ground-based laser scanner application for the landslides monitoring and its experiment in Jingyang, Shaanxi province. The point cloud gained in the test region is processed by existing software...

A study of awareness of landslide hazards have been conducted among secondary school teachers. The survey focused on four schools which are located in landslide areas and questionnaire methodologies were adopted to collect data from each school. Guided and close-ended questionnaires were distributed to 60 teachers in four selected schools in Penang Island. From the survey, the results showed kn...

− For monitoring natural landslide disaster, wireless sensing node network is so effective system. The sensing node is constructed by some sensors (acceleration, soil moisture, GPS and so on), data processing unit (micro processor) and wireless communication unit. The network topology we have constructed is mesh type. In the system, at sensing landslide, the node will transport the information ...

The Slano Blato landslide is more than 1290 m long, 60 to 200 m wide and 3 to 11 m deep with a volume of about 700 000 m3. It is located in the Eocene flysch region of western Slovenia with a limestone overthrust in the direct vicinity, above the landslide. The landslide moves mainly as a viscous earth flow with occurrences of rapid mud flows. In dry periods or in freezing conditions it behaves...

As catastrophic phenomena, landslides often cause large-scale socio-economic destruction including loss of life, economic collapse, and human injury. In addition, landslides can impair the functioning of critical infrastructure and destroy cultural heritage and ecological systems. In order to build a more landslide resistant and resilient society, an original GIS-based decision support system i...
