What is High-Resolution Satellite Imagery for Landslide Mapping about?

This document discusses using high-resolution satellite imagery to derive geotechnical parameters for landslide susceptibility mapping. Specifically, it examines using Quickbird satellite images of an area in California to estimate soil cohesion, angle of internal friction, and root cohesion for use in an infinite slope model. A 2002 image was analyzed to create a factor of safety map, which was then compared to a 2005 image showing landslides that occurred after a fire. While correspondence was seen, furth
