LiveLand: Predicting, Monitoring and Alerting of Landslides and Subsidence Affecting Transport Infrastructure

Transport operators across the UK face significant challenges in detecting, monitoring and forecasting landslide and subsidence hazards across their networks. As a result, owners and operators of road and rail transport infrastructure networks increasingly need to understand these hazards, to better manage their exposure, mitigate risk and improve planning and response to incidents when they occur. LiveLand combines data collected from a number of space and geological assets: Earth observation radar data from ERS, Envisat and Sentinel-1; Weather forecasting from earth observation radar satellites; GNSS technology within the NSL “STICK” units; Geology, geomorphology and landslide susceptibility from the BGS GeoSure dataset.
