Completed
The main objective of this research project is to give a major contribution to the inventory of landslides with a degree of completeness never achieved before. This objective was accomplished through the development of an automated methodology that uses a combination of remotely sensed and elevation data of very high resolution. The testing and validation of the methodology was mainly performed on Funchal and Ribeira Brava basins in Madeira Island using multitemporal satellite and aerial imagery together with elevation and field data. The approach permits a rapid construction or upgrade of landslides inventories and provides additional information for risk management policies. |
