Landslide Databases as Tools for Integrated Assessment of Landslide Risk

Mehr zum Buch

The doctoral thesis introduces an innovative method for assessing landslide risk, emphasizing an integrated perspective that utilizes landslide databases and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Central to this approach is a landslide susceptibility model that identifies high-risk areas and evaluates infrastructure vulnerability. It combines temporal hazard analysis, based on frequency statistics and hydrological simulations, with a comprehensive toolset for cost modeling that estimates damage costs over time. This research aims to enhance understanding of landslide risks and their economic implications.
