Climate-induced landsliding within the larch dominant permafrost zone of central Siberia

Climate-induced landsliding within the larch dominant permafrost zone of central Siberia

Climate impact on landslide occurrence and spatial patterns were analyzed within the larch-dominant communities associated with continuous permafrost areas of central Siberia. We used high resolution satellite imagery (i.e. QuickBird, WorldView) to identify landslide scars over an area of 62 000 km...
