Landslide Modelling

Landslide modeling involves creating mathematical and computer-based representations of how and when landslides might occur in a specific area. It considers factors like slope steepness, soil type, weather patterns, and land use to predict potential movement of earth or rock. These models help scientists and planners assess landslide risks, understand underlying causes, and inform safety measures or land management strategies. By simulating different scenarios, landslide modeling provides valuable insights into the likelihood, timing, and impact of falling debris, ultimately aiding in disaster prevention and resilience planning.
