Statement

Landslides were mapped using a combination of field mapping and remote sensing. Field mapped landslides were identified during walk-over surveys conducted in October 2019. The locations and geometries of these landslides were recorded using a hand-held Garmin GPS unit and a TruPulse laser range finder. The exact geometries of these field-observed landslides were then corroborated using high resolution CNES/Airbus imagery from 2017 obtained from GoogleEarthPro. Furthermore, as not all landslides were accessible in the field, additional landslides in the landscape were mapped from the CNES/Airbus imagery alone, where all visible landslides in the imagery were delineated as polygons that included the source, runout and deposition zones of each landslide. For the field-mapped landslides, the landslide type was classified according to the terminology of Varnes (1958).
