This paper is addressed to readers without advanced knowledge of remote sensing. It illustrates some current and potential uses of satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar interferometry (InSAR) for landslide assessment. Data acquired by SAR systems can provide 3D terrain models and be used to assist in regional scale investigations, e.g. aimed at evaluation of susceptibility of slopes to failure. Un...

Abstract Landslide risk analysis is a common geotechnical evaluation and it aims to protect life infrastructure. In the case of sensitive clay zones, landslides can affect large areas are difficult predict. Here we propose methodology determine landslide hazard across territory, apply our approach Saint-Jean-Vianney area, Quebec, Canada. The initial step consists creating 3D model surficial dep...

An empirical modeling of road related and non-road related landslide hazard for a large geographical area using logistic regression in tandem with signal detection theory is presented. This modeling was developed using geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing data, and was implemented on the Clearwater National Forest in central Idaho. The approach is based on explicit and quantit...

The landslide is one of serious natural disasters in many countries around the world especially on highland area during the rainy season. Therefore, the early warning system which can predict the occurrences of landslide on hazard areas is seriously required for preventing damage to life and assets. Three-dimensional models are also needed to simulate landslide areas for prediction of the overa...
