  • Land-cover change could considerably lower landslide triggering rainfall thresholds allowing precipitation events with shorter recurrence intervals to initiate shallow landslides. This research focusses on developing an automated, robust and upscalable workflow to quantitatively assess the effect land-cover change has on initiating rainfall induced shallow landslides in the Laternser Valley. Land-cover is classified using four sets of high resolution orthophotos (198x, 2001, 2006, 2009; 0.25 m spatial resolution) by applying an object-based approach with eCognition software. The correlation between land-cover change and landslide occurrence was assessed by analyzing land-cover change ...

  • Active landslides have three major effects on a landscape: 1. land cover change, 2. topographical change, and 3. above ground biomass change. Data derived from multi-temporal Light Detection and Ranging technology (LiDAR) is used in combination with multi-temporal orthophotos to quantify changes between 2006 and 2012, caused by a landslide near Doren in Austria. Data synergy is used to optimize accuracies of land cover change, and to improve results of topographical change analysis and aboveground biomass estimations. Topographical change is calculated using differencing of digital terrain models. The above ground biomass is quantified by applying a local-maximum algorithm for tree to...
