New earth observation satellites, innovative airborne platforms, high precision laser scans, and enhanced geophysical surveys are just a few examples for the increasing diversity of remote sensing technologies used in the study of landslides. The application of advanced sensors and analysis methods can help to significantly increase the quantity and quality of our understanding of potentially hazardous areas and helps to reduce associated risk. However, the choice of the optimal technology, analysis method and observation strategy requires careful considerations of the landslide process in the local and regional context, and the technological advantages and limitations of each technique. To guide and facilitate the decision process for stakeholders this deliverable provides an overview of available state-of-the-art remote sensing techniques and their applicability for different landslide types, scales and risk management steps.
