This chapter presents the perspectives concerning how satellite Earth Observation (EO) can contribute to geohazard and disaster risk reduction in landslide-prone and landslide-affected areas It is addressed to both the operational and the scientific users of the landslide community, and considers the state-of-the-art concerning EO data-based landslide research, applications and services, starting from the situation in Europe and expanding to provide a global perspective The current status of landslide applications based on EO data is tackled through some case studies and goals achieved over the last decade in a range of activities identified by the contributors to this document, focussing initially on the European context, and broadened to address global landslide hazards The chapter examines how to consolidate landslide applications and services to achieve benefits expected from their users Particular reference is made to the forthcoming availability of large volumes of imagery from new satellite missions and the consequent need for effective, standardized and widely-accepted methodologies, as well as national and international capacities for the integration of EO data into every-day practices for landslide risk management; the final objective is the provision of support for landslide prevention, preparedness and emergency response, as well as post-emergency and recovery activities, and mitigation strategies The community outlines a 5 to 10-year vision, based on the assessment of state of the art research and the application of EO for landslide risk management.

Abstract

This chapter presents the perspectives concerning how satellite Earth Observation (EO) can contribute to geohazard and disaster risk reduction in landslide-prone and landslide-affected areas It is addressed to both the operational and the scientific users of the landslide community, and considers the state-of-the-art concerning EO data-based landslide research, applications and services, starting from the situation in Europe and expanding to provide a global perspective The current status of landslide applications based on EO data is tackled through some case studies and goals achieved over the last decade in a range of activities identified by the contributors to this document, focussing initially on the European context, and broadened to address global landslide hazards The chapter examines how to consolidate landslide applications and services to achieve benefits expected from their users Particular reference is made to the forthcoming availability of large volumes of imagery from new satellite missions and the consequent need for effective, standardized and widely-accepted methodologies, as well as national and international capacities for the integration of EO data into every-day practices for landslide risk management; the final objective is the provision of support for landslide prevention, preparedness and emergency response, as well as post-emergency and recovery activities, and mitigation strategies The community outlines a 5 to 10-year vision, based on the assessment of state of the art research and the application of EO for landslide risk management.
