<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">The rapid and accurate mapping of landslides is critical for emergency response, disaster mitigation, and understanding landslide processes. Here we present
a new approach to detect landslides anywhere in the world using freely available synthetic aperture radar data and open source tools in Google Earth Engine. Importantly, our methods do not require specialized processing software or training, which allows the
broader hazards community to utilize these state-of-the-art remote sensing tools.</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#201F1E">
