Landslides are ne f the mst destructive natural disasters n the planet. causing billins f dllars f damage and devastating lss f life every year. By intrducing a new paradigm（范例） fr studying landslide shapes and failure types, a glbal team f researchers has prvided help fr thse wh wrk t predict landslides and risk evaluatins.
Current predictive mdels rely n databases that d nt generally include infrmatin n the type f failure f mapped landslides. By using the aerial view（鸟瞰图） and elevatin data f landslide sites cmbined with machine learning, the researchers were able t achieve 80% - 94% percent accuracy in identifying landslide mvements in diverse lcatins arund the wrld. Specifically, the study intrduces a methd f examining slides, flws, and fails, finding distinct patterns.
Researchers studied landslides arund the wrld, like the 2008 disaster in Beichuan. China, t develp a new paradigm t understand their mvements and failure types.
“Our algrithm is nt predict ing landslides,” explained Malik, assistant prfessr in Rchester Institute f Technlgy （RIT） Schl f Mathematic s and Statistics. “But the peple wh are in the business f predicting landslides need t knw mre infrmatin abut them, like what caused them and what mechanisms they were.”
Varius lcatins were studied , including Italy, the United States, Denmark, Turkiye. and China. The wide range f cuntries helped cnfirm the strength f the findings, since they can be successfully used in diverse regins and climates.
“It was quite exhilarating when we saw the success numbers,” said Malik, “We gt the results, which are really gd, but we need t be able t cnnect this t reality.”
The hpe is that this deeper understanding f failure mvements will help thse wh wrk t predict deadly events and enhance the accuracy and reliability f hazard（危害） and risk assessment mdels, which will help save lives and reduce damage.
