NH43D:
Landslide Hazard, Vulnerability, and Risk Analysis II


Session ID#: 10959

Session Description:
Landslides, while often smaller in scale relative to other natural hazards, impact nearly every country in the world and cause thousands of fatalities each year. This session will explore the multi-faceted topic of landslide hazard, vulnerability and risk through the use of remotely sensed, field-based, in situ investigations and modeling. Contributions are welcome on i) data and model uncertainty and quality assessment and ii) vulnerability, risk and cost evaluation of landslide hazards. Presentations may concentrate on innovative procedures for hazard and risk assessment, model development and validation, socio-economic surveys and case studies.
