Probabilistic analysis and mapping of seismically induced landslide deformation in Oregon

Creator:

Sharifi Mood, Mahyar

Abstract:

Landslides are ubiquitous within the state of Oregon, imposing an annual estimated cost of more than $10 million. Weak, saturated soils at steep slopes combined with persistent rainfall throughout most of the year provide a dangerous environment for this natural disaster, particularly in western Oregon. This grim situation is intensified...

Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

Creator:

Santha, Rubini

Abstract:

Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...
