Author Description

Landslide Susceptibility Modeling draws upon expert researchers from the field to detail how remote sensing and GIS are now being used in landslide susceptibility mapping. Each chapter in the book describes a methodology that has been successfully used in the past and can therefore be applied for mapping landslide susceptibility. With the sample data provided and several case study examples of different models of landslide susceptibility maps, researchers across the earth sciences-as well as those working in hazard and disaster preparedness-will have the tools to create susceptibility maps for specific locales.
