Landslide Hazard Identification and Monitoring

Project Dates: September 2024 - March 2026

Project Description: 

The project aims to assess and monitor debris flow hazards to improve roadway safety and reduce long-term costs. Following significant damage from debris flows in July 2023, the project will use advanced technologies like Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Differential Interferometric SAR (DInSAR) to detect ground deformation and identify high-risk areas. Key objectives include determining state-of-the-art tools for asset management from other states and federal agencies, creating a calibrated map to identify high-risk areas for awareness and monitoring, developing a catalog of hazard mitigation measures, and designing active monitoring systems for Vermont.
