Worldwide, millions of dollars in property damage and loss of life are attributed to landslides annually. Landslides are frequent hazards in tectonically active mountain belts such as the Himalayas, Southern Alps of New Zealand, New Guinea, Japan, and the Andes, where uplift generates high topographic relief Steep slopes associated with regions of high

Two models for evaluating landslide hazards
Computers & Geosciences, 2006Abstract Two alternative procedures for estimating landslide hazards were evaluated using data on topographic digital elevation models (DEMs) and bedrock lithologies in an area adjacent to the Missouri River in Atchison County, Kansas, USA. The two procedures are based on the likelihood ratio model but utilize different assumptions.

Landslides continue to cause costly damage and loss of lives. Many techniques are available for reducing landslide hazards; 27 are described in this paper. An overview of these techniques is useful to planners who implement hazard-reduction programs, to engineers who serve as advisors to local or state governments, and to decisionmakers who select the ...

Landslides, ground settlement and avalanches interfere widely and persistently with man’s activities. The scale ranges from slumps a few meters in dimension, causing only minor inconvenience, to rare gigantic slides or avalanches, kilometers in size, affecting sizeable populations.

Gis Technology in Mapping Landslide Hazard
1995In the recent years, the ever-increasing diffusion of GIS technology has facilitated the application of quantitative techniques in landslide hazard assessment. Today a wider spectrum of instability causal factors, mainly morphological and geological in nature, can be cost-effectively acquired, stored and analysed in digital form.

Scales of landslide hazard and risk mapping
2020The preparation of landslide hazard and risk maps is required as a base for rational land use planing and decision-making in landslide prone areas. In this paper, an inventory was made of the currently available methods for landslide hazard and risk zonation, in order to give recommendations for the use of specific methods in the relation of the scale ...
