Landslide Velocity, Thickness, and Rheology from Remote Sensing; La Clapiere Landslide, France
Quantifying the velocity, volume, and rheology of deep, slow-moving landslides is essential for hazard prediction and understanding landscape evolution, but existing field-based methods are difficult or...
