9International Consortium on Landslides
- ICL is a bottom-up activity by worldwide
landslide researchers supported by UNESCO and
other special supporting organizations (WMO, FAO,
UN/ISDR etc.). - Members are those organizations that support the
objectives of ICL intellectually, practically and
financially. - Each Member sends a representative to the Board
of Representatives, which has full power for all
decisions of the consortium - Details onhttp//www.unesco.org/science/earthsci

10ICL Objectives
- to promote landslide research for the benefit of
society and the environment, and capacity
building, including education, notably in
developing countries - to integrate geosciences and technology within
the appropriate cultural and social contexts in
order to evaluate landslide risk in both urban,
rural and developing areas and cultural and
natural heritage sites, as well as to contribute
to the protection of the natural environment and
sites of high societal value - to combine and coordinate international research
activity in landslide risk assessment and
mitigation studies - to promote a global, multidisciplinary

42DURING THE NEXT DECADE THERE WILL BE AN
UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF SATELLITES OBSERVING THE
EARTH. THEY ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ALTER THE
WAY IN WHICH SOCIETY MANAGES NATURAL HAZARDS.
43General Objective
- To seeks better methodologies for monitoring and
forecasting landslides in hazardous areas in the
world by using earth observation systems
including satellite, airborne and ground-based
remote sensing techniques, and facilitate focused
pilot studies by providing new in situ
instrumental and mapping support
44Objective 1 InSAR
- Advocate integration of InSAR technology into
landslide disaster warning and prediction
systems. - The ERS (European Remote Sensing) and Envisat
missions of the European Space Agency (ESA) have
pioneered these applications and shall be
continued for global, long-term applications. - As part of this effort, facilitate efficient
exploitation of data from Japan's upcoming
Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS) with
PALSAR, an L-band SAR sensor (spatial resolution
of 10 m).

84Objective 6 Capacity building
- Facilitate ongoing capacity building activities,
with a focus on transferring technologies and
best practices - Dissemination of real-time information and early
warnings to end users and the public, in concert
with efforts by UNESCO and WMO to expand and
improve sediment- and flood-related initiatives.
85GLOBAL MEASUREMENTS WILL HAVE GLOBAL BENEFITS IF
THE ABILITY OF DEVELOPING NATIONS TO USE THESE
DATA IS INCREASED(Capacity Building
Technology, Education/Training and Field
Applications)
- Developing nations should be provided with the
hardware and software to access all ICL data
products and forecasts. - Training materials should be developed and
sessions carried out in developing countries.
ICL IS WORKING ACTIVELY TO SUPPORT THE TRANSFER
OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES TO THE DEVELOPING WORLD.
ICL WOULD LIKE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH UNESCO AND
SPACE AGENCIES TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL.
86Conclusions
- Integrated use of different remote sensing
techniques (active/passive, satellite/ground-based
sensors) - Applicability of remote sensing techniques to
geological hazard prevention - Landslide inventory at a basin scale
- Landslide hazard mapping
- Ground deformation monitoring
- High precision monitoring during emergency
- Emergency management and support to decision
- Post-crisis analysis and damage inventory
