Abstract
Landslide inventory maps are essential for geomorphological studies, and to evaluate landslide hazard, vulnerability, and risk. Landslide maps, including geomorphological, event, seasonal, and multi-temporal inventory maps, are prepared using different techniques. We present the results of an experiment aimed a testing the possibility of using very high resolution, stereoscopic satellite images to map rainfall induced shallow landslides. Three landslide inventory maps were prepared for the Collazzone study area, Umbria, Italy. Two of the maps were prepared through the visual interpretation of stereoscopic satellite images and cover the periods January to March 2010, and March to May 2010. The third inventory map shows landslides occurred in the period January to May 2010, and was obtained through reconnaissance field surveys. We describe the statistics of landslide area for the three inventories, and compare quantitatively two of the landslide maps.
