Session Description
Through integrated approaches involving geospatial analysis, modeling techniques, vulnerability assessment and cutting-edge tools like remote sensing, early warning systems and data-driven decision support for efficient risk management.
Aim of the Session
The purpose of this session is to bring together practitioners, researchers, and experts in the field of landslide hazard and risk assessment in order to exchange ideas, approaches, and applications. It aims to investigate a wide range of techniques for landslide susceptibility, hazard, vulnerability and risk mapping. To increase the precision and dependability of hazard and risk evaluations, a focus will be placed on multi-scale assessments, the integration of geotechnical and geomorphological data and the application of cutting-edge technologies like remote sensing, in-situ monitoring systems and machine learning.
The evaluation of vulnerability and exposure from physical, social and economic perspectives, as well as how these can be successfully integrated into comprehensive risk models, are other topics that the session seeks to promote. We especially welcome contributions that address early warning systems, uncertainty quantification, and dynamic and impact-based risk assessments. The session aims to support risk-informed planning, policy development, and community resilience in landslide-prone areas by encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and practical applications.
