New Study Predicts Landslide Threats in Near Real-Time During Heavy Rains

 For the first time, scientists can look at landslide threats anywhere around the world in near real-time, thanks to satellite data and a new model developed by NASA's team that includes USRA's Thomas Stanley.  The model estimates potential landslide activity triggered by rainfall.   Click the following for more information.
