Hi Folks,



We will hold a joint LHP & GHSC Seminar (virtually, via Microsoft Teams) this week on Wednesday, August 19th @ 1500 Mountain Daylight Time.



Our very own Ben Mirus<https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/ben-mirus?qt-staff_profile_science_products=0#qt-staff_profile_science_products> will be presenting, "Landslides across the United States: Occurrence, Susceptibility, and Data Limitations":


Description: This presentation will review our efforts to compile a landslide inventory database for the U.S., including the challenges we faced with developing and maintaining a uniform national product from disparate datasets. This national-scale compilation shows regions where better mapping of landslides is likely needed, and also enabled the first opportunity for a spatial evaluation of existing susceptibility maps across the conterminous U.S. Our qualitative and quantitative evaluation highlights the need for an improved assessment of landslide potential for the entire nation that accounts for the potentially higher risk in areas previously considered to be only moderately susceptible to landslides.
