Landslide Susceptibility Topic: Disasters, Environmental Science Problem Statement: Evaluate the risk of Landslides Using GIS Level: Intermediate Software: ArcGIS, Spatial and 3D Analyst Description: This module uses elevation data to define the slope and aspect and combines it with burn severity to identify the risk of landslides for a mountainous area of San Bernardino, California. A specific location and instructions are given in order to carry out the analysis and build a model. An optional independent project can be added whereby teams of students assess the risk of landslides for another location and must find or generate appropriate data and methods for that location.
