Session description:
Session 2.1: ADVANCES IN EO-BASED LANDSLIDE DETECTION AND MONITORING
Landslides represent a pervasive geohazard with severe implications for infrastructure, human safety, and economic systems. In the context of increasing anthropogenic pressure on unstable slopes – often exacerbated by climate change and land-use transformations – the demand for robust, scalable, and operational tools for landslide mapping and monitoring has become critical.
This session focuses on the exploitation of Earth Observation (EO) technologies for the detection, characterization, and temporal analysis of slope instabilities across diverse geomorphological contexts. In particular, we invite contributions leveraging spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) time series (e.g., from satellite missions such as Sentinel-1, TerraSAR-X, SAOCOM), multispectral and hyperspectral imagery (e.g., from satellite missions such as Sentinel-2, PRISMA), and high-resolution optical data for both event based and long-term monitoring of gravitational processes.
We encourage studies demonstrating methodological advances in SAR interferometry (InSAR), digital image correlation, pixel-level change detection, and segmentation-based approaches for landslide recognition and kinematic analysis. Submissions employing machine learning (ML), and hybrid physical-statistical models to fuse EO data with ancillary datasets (e.g., DEM derivatives, precipitation records, soil and lithological maps) are particularly welcome.
Special emphasis will be placed on the integration of EO products with ground-based and in situ monitoring systems (e.g., GB-InSAR, LiDAR, GNSS, inclinometers), with the aim of developing near-real-time early warning protocols, deformation models, and hazard scenarios. Case studies demonstrating the operational uptake of EO-derived landslide information by civil protection authorities, risk governance entities, and engineering practice are strongly encouraged.
