New Global Characterization of Landslide Exposure

Summary

Landslides from heavy rainfall are global hazards, but accurately assessing their impact is challenging. Existing inventories often rely on reported impacts, which creates biases. To address these limitations, this study combines satellite data on landslide hazards with population, infrastructure, and road data to estimate global exposure to landslide risks. This approach improves accuracy and highlights differences in landslide hazard mitigation among countries.
