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 at-risk areas and evaluates infrastructure exposure. By combining temporal hazard analysis with hydrological simulations, the research provides a comprehensive toolset for cost modeling, allowing for the quantification of economic impacts from landslide losses across various spatial scales and timeframes.
