In May 2016, we flew a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle, or drone) over part of Belmont Quarry, Lower Hutt, to record detailed photographs of localised bench failures. This was to help us develop a work flow that would start with the drone photography and conclude with back analysis of the slope failure using our 3D slope analysis

Get Price2019-6-1 1. Introduction. Estimating the risk that is represented by landslides on a global scale is difficult. For instance, damage from landslides is usually attributed to the events that triggered them (as with earthquakes), and small-scale failures are often under-reported (Petley et al., 2005a).The true number of fatalities may be slightly underestimated when victims die of landslide-derived ...
