Remote Sensing is superior in landslide and debris flow recognition to the conventional method

it yet can gain data and maps of the distribution

scope

type

growing environment etc of landslide and debris flow efficiently in a large scope of area. Through the interpretation of multi-temporal and multi-platform remote sensing images the dynamic characters and developing tendency of landslide and debris flow can also be grasped. Therefore remote sensing can provide overall and reliable basis for landslide and debris flow assesment and prevention.Despite of these great successes

the application of remote sensing in the field of landslide and debris flow in China is still in a primary stage

and there is great potentialities be brought in to play.Apart from the technology of remote sensing itself

the advance of the application level is depend on the study of the mechanism and applying model of landslide and debris flow

and on the support of the disaster information system.
