Using satellite remote sensing technology, the landslide hazard in rugged mountainous region with active tectonic movement can be well predicted for the determination of new routes and the reconstruction of existing routes.
Prof. Nicola Casagli presented some innovative technologies for landslide monitoring and early warning.
Initial fields of cooperation in research and capacity building, coupled with social and financial investment are identified as follows: 1. Development of people-centered early warning technology for landslides, especially within a changing climate context; 2.
Although in most of the disaster-prone areas the consideration of the social-cultural and socio-economic conditions in relation to their physical safety is still very confused, the application of appropriate technologies for landslide detection, monitoring and early warning systems are increasingly considered crucial by local authorities in reducing the risk of landslide disasters.
Following the DEM construction in a loess area susceptible to landslides, the direct-reverse DEM technology was employed to generate 216 slope units in the studied area.
Inside Out's Marie Ashby meets the team based in Nottinghamshire which is using technology to predict future landslides to help reduce the risk of disasters.
Based on visual interpretation of high-resolution satellite images, field investigations, and GIS technology, we investigated the coseismic landslides along the Araniko Highway and Pasang Lhamu Highway.
The model is then applied to shallow landslide hazard assessment with the aid of GIS technology.
Today, the technology industry is caught in a landslide of hype about "unicorns" — the term adopted by many to describe the rare class of startup that soars in value to $1 billion or more.
Dr Okal has used this technology to identify tsunamis caused by landslides (ie, the sort most likely to be dangerous, and thus require evacuations to be organised).
The course focused on advanced technology of hazard assessment and mitigation of landslide and debris flow through means of lectures and practices.
