Book Characterizing Geomorphological Change Utilizing Remote Sensing and Field Based Methods at the Cotton Brook Landslide  Waterbury  Vt

This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides are instrumental drivers of geomorphological change and can cause costly property damage and threaten community safety. The quantitative impact of slope failure on differing spatial and temporal scales on the landscape remains poorly constrained. Here, we evaluate geomorphological change at one of Vermont's largest documented landslides located in Waterbury, Vermont. The Cotton Brook landslide initially failed in 2019 and mobilized large volumes of sediment downstream toward the Waterbury Reservoir. This study spans from 2014 to 2023 and integrates field-based and remotely sensed data to 1) identify active erosive mechanisms following the 2019 event and 2) develop a workflow that allows us to estimate quantitative topographic change linked to distinct geologic processes. Geomorphological field surveys allowed us to map active landscape change mechanisms and ground truth geospatial data analysis results at Cotton Brook. LiDAR data were processed and analyzed using ArcGIS Pro, Agisoft Metashape Pro and CloudCompare softwares to apply topographic differencing techniques to digital elevation models (DEM) and 3-dimensional point clouds. We develop a workflow and use it to compare the change detection outcomes from each software package to quantify uncertainty. Vertical change measurements derived from models across all techniques ranged from -16.59 m to 16.37 m. Estimates derived from DEMs exceeded point cloud results by up to ~15%. We interpret this discrepancy as an overestimation of change by propagated alignment and interpolation error. Calculated vertical uncertainties are influenced by alignment registration errors and range from ~0 cm to 1.5 m. Elevation change measurements were used to extract sediment volume estimates attributed to landslide features. For instance, our results suggest that up to 123,279.8 m3 of debris material has been deposited at the toe of the landslide. Our approach allowed us to identify how different mechanisms of landscape change contributed to the volumes of erosion and deposition on and around the landslide. An integration of field observations with topographic change modeling results suggest that there are heterogeneous processes influencing mass wasting in our study region including erosional features, which have formed since the 2019 landslide and others that are operating throughout the study region. Notable processes include the collapse of thick units of glacial material bordering the main slip region, gully erosion, and rapid stream bank erosion. The findings of this multi-disciplinary research provide an opportunity to quantify the impact of distinctive geomorphological processes and can help to inform future landslide hazard reduction strategies in the Vermont community.

Download or read book GIS Landslide written by Hiromitsu Yamagishi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents landslide studies using the geographic information system (GIS), which includes not only the science of GIS and remote sensing, but also technical innovations, such as detailed light detection and ranging profiles, among others. To date most of the research on landslides has been found in journals on topography, geology, geo-technology, landslides, and GIS, and is limited to specific scientific aspects. Although journal articles on GIS using landslide studies are abundant, there are very few books on this topic. This book is designed to fill that gap and show how the latest GIS technology can contribute in terms of landslide studies. In a related development, the GIS Landslide Workshop was established in Japan 7 years ago in order to communicate and solve the scientific as well as technical problems of GIS analyses, such as how to use GIS software and its functions. The workshop has significantly contributed to progress in the field. Included among the chapters of this book are GIS using susceptibility mapping, analyses of deep-seated and shallow landslides, measuring and visualization of landslide distribution in relation to topography, geological facies and structures, rivers, land use, and infrastructures such as roads and streets. Filled with photographs, figures, and tables, this book is of great value to researchers in the fields of geography, geology, seismology, environment, remote sensing, and atmospheric research, as well as to students in these fields.
