The Forum will be held in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Faridabad, 23 – 27 Nov 2026.
We look forward to seeing you at the Session 2.6:
We will explore current practices, emerging technologies, and innovative approaches in landslide data collection, storage, standardization, and dissemination. We encourage presentations that address challenges and opportunities in creating interoperable databases, integrating multi-source data (field surveys, remote sensing, historical archives, and citizen science).
We welcome contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Development and maintenance of landslide catalogues at various scales (local to global)
- Data standardization, quality control, and metadata protocols
- Integration of multi-source data: field mapping, remote sensing, historical archives, and citizen science
- Novel technologies for data collection: UAVs, satellite imagery, LiDAR, machine learning, and artificial intelligence
- Database interoperability and data sharing platforms
- Applications of landslide databases in hazard assessment, susceptibility mapping, and risk analysis
- Use of catalogues for temporal and spatial analysis of landslide occurrence
- Case studies of national and regional landslide information systems
- Challenges in long-term database maintenance and sustainability
- Open data policies and ethical considerations in landslide data sharing
