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 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 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...

These traditional systems have been curing complex disease for more than 3,000 years. With rapidly growing demand for these med...
متن کاملLandslide hazard zonation , mapping and investigation of triggering factors in Phewa lake watershed , Nepal
landslide also referred to as mass movement, slope failures, slope instability, and terrain instability is the mass movement, usually sudden, of soil and debris down a steep slope (Cruden, 1991). They are caused by a variety of factors such as heavy rains, earthquake ground shaking or geological forces. Different types of landslides move down slope at a wide range of speeds (Varnes, 1978). Most...
