Interferometry SAR for landslide Hazard Assessment in Garhwal Himalaya, India
Landslides are a major geological hazard in Garhwal Himalayas, since they are widespread dynamic processes that cause damage, and even loss of life, every year. Development of urban areas, Highway construction and expanded land use in Garhwal Himalaya mountain regions has increased the incidence of landslide disasters. The enormous damage caused by landslides can be reduced by means of monitori...
متن کاملLandslide Hazard and Its Mapping Using Remote Sensing and Gis
Landslides are amongst the most damaging natural hazards in the mountainous terrain like Himalaya. The study of landslides has drawn worldwide attention mainly due to increasing awareness of socio-economic impacts of landslides. Remote sensing images provide many useful land use information to combine in a GIS environment with other spatial factors influencing the occurrence of landslide. The l...
متن کاملLandslide Hazard Zonation Using Quantitative Methods in GIS
Landslides are major natural hazards which not only result in the loss of human life but also cause economic burden on the society. Therefore, it is essential to develop suitable models to evaluate the susceptibility of slope failures and their zonations. This paper scientifically assesses various methods of landslide susceptibility zonation in GIS environment. A comparative study of Weights of...
متن کاملLandslide Hazard Automated Zonation (LHAZ) system
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...
متن کاملEthnomedicinal and ecological status of plants in Garhwal Himalaya, India
BACKGROUND The northern part of India harbours a great diversity of medicinal plants due to its distinct geography and ecological marginal conditions. The traditional medical systems of northern India are part of a time tested culture and honored still by people today. These traditional systems have been curing complex disease for more than 3,000 years. With rapidly growing demand for these med...
