In this presentation, Dr. Nishan Kumar Biswas, Dr. Pukar Amatya, and Dr. Thomas Stanley from the Goddard Space Flight Center presented the data-driven Landslide Hazard Assessment (LHASA) Model for the Lower Mekong Region. The LHASA uses the SALaD (Semi-Automatic Landslide Detection) landslide mapping system and the XGBoost algorithm to derive the hazard assessment layer.

Thanks to Lillianne Thomas from Development Seed and Ankur Shah from Climate Engine for the presentation. Thanks to the entire project team, especially Muthukumaran Ramasubramanian from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, George Priftis from the … CONTINUE READING
Satellite remote sensing plays an important role in mapping the location and extent of surface water. A variety of approaches are available for mapping surface water, but deep learning approaches are not commonplace as they are ’data hungry’ and require large amounts of computational resources. However, with the availability of various satellite sensors and rapid … CONTINUE READING
