Landslides occur throughout the world, under all climatic conditions and terrains, displacing communities of people, impacting the natural environment, causing major economic losses to an area. Using satellite data and other resources found within this data pathfinder, we can identify the conditions under which landslides typically occur, helping to improve monitoring and modeling of these hazards.
