Latent landslide hazard recognition in Fang County using synthetic aperture radar interferometry and geological data by Shunyao Wang, Shunyao Wang, Shunyao Wang, Qingbin Fan, Hui Li

“…To address the lack of integration of synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) and geological data for the identification of latent landslide hazards, in this study, we incorporated InSAR technology and geological data to identify potential landslides in Fang County, northwest Hubei Province. With the aid of 10 ALOS-2 data scenes and high-precision digital elevation models of the study area, a displacement rate map with a maximum value of −70.6 mm/a was extracted. …”
