The Landslide Life Cycle: From Hazard Analysis to Risk Assessments
The Landslide Life Cycle: From Hazard Analysis to Risk Assessments
Session ID#: 156855
Session Description:
Landslides are global events with adverse consequences for human health and safety, infrastructure, economic activity, and natural and cultural resources. Landslide hazards can accompany other phenomena such as hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and climate change, and can also cause their own cascading consequences such as tsunami or river dams. Landslide mapping and modeling have accelerated with the emergence of new measurement technologies and improved data analysis approaches, paving the way for improved characterization of landslide processes and their societal impacts. Characterizing the controls on landslide occurrence and recurrence rates, and reducing landslide losses, require collaboration and coordination between response, science, technology, and outreach efforts. This session seeks to bring together contributions that span the landslide life cycle, from defining landslide hazards to equitably producing, communicating, and applying landslide data and science. We welcome a wide range of contributions on topics including, but not limited to: characterizing, mapping, and modeling recent or historical landslide events; studies of individual hillslopes or regional-scale efforts; understanding seismic, hydroclimatic, or other triggering mechanisms; and ground-based and remote monitoring. Additionally, we would like to highlight novel approaches to inform and improve landslide inventories, susceptibility modeling, early warning systems, and risk assessments.
