In our new paper, we use Sentinel-1 to derive the timings of 579 monsoon-triggered landslides over 4 years in Nepal and explore how these are affected by intense rainfall and post-seismic hillslope weakening following the Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake (1/2). doi.org/10.1029/2023GL104720

This Thursday (28th) I'm presenting in the online Landscapes Live seminar series! Register at landscapeslive.org/ if you're interested in how we can use Sentinel-1 to better follow shallow landslide evolution through time during sequences of earthquakes and storms 🗻🛰️

If you use modern methods in geomorphology (GIS/remote sensing/cloud computing/AI) and you're looking for an EGU session to present your work in, we invite you to submit to our session on Geomorphology in the Digital Era (deadline Jan 10th!) meetingorganizer.copernicus.…

I’m at the world landslide forum in Florence this week. Come and talk to me about landslides and SAR or DOA publishing with @Geomorphica (or both!) #WLF6

In the @Geomorphica communications team, we are trying to spread the word about #DiamondOpenAccess publishing and #geomorphology! Find out more about the journal and submit your manuscript at journals.psu.edu/geomorphica… 🏔️🏝️🗻💎📚

By modelling the soil water content at the time of failure, we showed that landslides failed in dryer conditions during the 2015 monsoon and demonstrate that this can be explained by temporary weakening of the hillslope following the earthquake (2/2)

Today I started a new job @esa esrin in Frascati as a research fellow in Earth observation for Earth systems science. I’ll be working on satellite remote sensing of erosion/landslides and soil moisture ⛰🌧🛰

What can the timings of 300 monsoon-triggered landslides in Nepal tell us about the impacts of earthquakes and cloudburst events? Come to my talk tomorrow at 15:12 #EGU23 session GM3.1 to find out🏔️

When clouds obscure optical satellite images for long periods, it can be hard to constrain landslide timings (and so to relate them to rainfall or earthquake sequences). Our method to time landslides using SAR time series has just been published🏔️🌧️🛰️ doi.org/10.5194/nhess-22-263…

In my talk at #EGU22, we used SAR time series to obtain landslide timings during the Nepal monsoon, allowing the landslides to be tied to specific rainfall conditions. Come along to NH9.8 on Tuesday to find out more or see the online material here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.…

Waking up somewhere nice and sunny in Germany on the Paris - Vienna night train. En route to #EGU22!

Have you ever mapped a large number of landslides, but been unable to know when they happened due to cloud cover in optical satellite images? In our new discussion preprint, we solve this problem using Sentinel-1 time series! 🛰️🏔️ nhess.copernicus.org/preprin…

The last chapter of my PhD thesis is now published! We show that more accurate information on earthquake-triggered landslide locations can be generated by combining empirical models and InSAR coherence methods. 🏔️🛰️@DurUniEarthSci @_IHRR

Empirical models and InSAR coherence methods can both be used to detect triggered landslides after an earthquake, but what if we combine the two? A preprint of our new paper is open for discussion at nhess.copernicus.org/preprin… 🛰️🏔️🖥️

At #vEGU21 and interested in landslide mapping? Cloud cover in optical satellite imagery can prevent us from knowing when a landslide happened. Come and see our vPICO this afternoon (Session NH3.6) where we show how Sentinel-1 data can be used to retrieve this timing information!
