Landslides

The Landslide Hazards Program aims to identify, map, and categorize landslide areas across the State of Montana to better understand spatial distribution and causes of ground failure to help mitigate against landslide hazards. New and ongoing deployment of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) techniques provides means to create high-resolution imagery and remove vegetation cover to identify landslide processes.
