Product Description
This workshop was addressed to both landslide researchers in the geosciences and practitioners from landslide risk management in public institutions and at infrastructure operators.
During the workshop, it was discussed how methods for deriving landslide maps from EO data and for modelling susceptibility can contribute to landslide risk management.
During the workshop, we presented and discussed the research approach and preliminary results from the MontEO project. MontEO employs EO data to assess the impact of mass movements on infrastructure for the particular case of alpine trails and huts.
The workshop aimed for knowledge exchange: beyond giving practitioners an insight in state of the art EO methods for landslide mapping and modelling, researchers gained a better understanding of landslide risk management and its information needs.
