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.

The virtual Terra, Aqua, Aura Drifting Orbits Workshop takes place Nov 1-2, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., EDT [UTC -4], each day. NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) mission and instrument leads will discuss potential science investigations that can be conducted as these three EOS platforms begin drifting in orbit. The workshop is free and registration is open to the public.
