Landslide mapping in the Swiss AlpsParis (ESA) Sep 27, 2012 Archived radar data from the Envisat mission are playing an important role in mapping landslides in Switzerland. The mission's vast archives continue to prove useful for mapping ground deformation. Landslides are a natural hazard of special relevance in Alpine regions. This ground displacement can severely damage human lives and infrastructure. Earth-observing satellites - specifically those equipped with radars - can help scientists to map and monitor ground movement. This information can ... read more |
