Use of Very High-resolution Optical Data for Landslide Mapping and Susceptibility Analysis Along the Karnali Highway, Nepal

Summary

The article paper is about the Use of very high-resolution optical data for landslide mapping and susceptibility analysis along the Karnali highway, Nepal. In this study, landslides were mapped with an object-based approach from very high-resolution optical satellite imagery obtained by the DigitalGlobe constellation in 2012 and PlanetScope in 2018. The map highlighted the lower elevated areas between Bangesimal and Manma towns with the Kuncha Formation geologic class as being the most hazardous.
