Landslide Detection, Monitoring, and Research Using OPERA Data
Earth Science, Geomorphology, Engineering Geology and seminar by Al Handwerger, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Hosted by U.S. Geological Survey — Landslide Hazards Program
Wednesday 14:00 Denver (GMT-7)
Recording available
Abstract
This presentation introduces NASA’s Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) project and its suite of freely available satellite-derived products. The talk will provide an overview of the OPERA project and products, then demonstrate how these products can be used for landslide detection, monitoring, and scientific research. Examples highlight how OPERA observations enable identification of active landslides, characterization of spatial patterns of motion, and tracking of temporal changes relevant to landslides.
