SILVIA: An operational system to monitoring landslides forced by heavy precipitations at national scale in Peru
(European Geosciences Union, 2020)
In Peru, heavy precipitations (PR) are the second natural phenomenon with the greatest number of people affected in recent decades. Landslides (known as “huaycos” in Peru) are mostly produced by PR and located overall on ...
