[ghsc-seminars] GHSC Seminar, tomorrow (Thursday) @ 10am: Dalia Kirschbaum, Landslides

[Mirus, Benjamin]

*Multi-scale landslide mapping and hazard assessment with remote sensing
data*

*Dalia Kirschbaum*
*NASA Goddard Space Flight Center*

Accurately resolving the time, location, and impacts of these hazards is
vital for characterizing their variability, providing appropriate and
timely responses to disaster events, supporting robust recovery plans and
formulating mitigation strategies. However the multi-faceted failure
mechanisms, heterogeneous data inputs and dearth of globally-available
landslide data for validation make characterizing and modeling these
processes over broader spatial and temporal scales very challenging.
Satellite data provides a unique perspective to approximate where and when
landslides may be occurring at regional to global scales as well as to
monitor or map landslide distribution and movement over smaller areas. This
presentation outlines several on-going efforts to better understand
landslide activity at different spatial and temporal scales using an array
of modeling, mapping and citizen science methods.

*Thursday, November 15th**, 2018*
*10-11a*
