Value of ground information in regions with limited landslide inventory for trigger threshold development — Application in Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu State, India
Abstract:<p>Forecasting rainfall-induced landslides, whilst challenging, is increasingly important due to the impact these hazards can have on society. The difficulty in forecasting arises from the inherent variability of geo-environmental factors and the scale at which underlying processes operate. The availability of data required to develop and validate thresholds for operational purposes is often limited. In regions where data (e.g. meteorological, or geotechnical) is sparse or incomprehensive, it is … Show more
