Landslides are a major class of disaster in equatorial mountain regions.1,2 Better danger zone classification ("landslide susceptibility zonation") could help keep people out of the riskier areas. Better landslide prediction could save human lives and help preserve local economic capacity. Neither problem is easy, however. The ability to fly over the same point several times per day could make it possible to consider in more detail -- and in a more timely manner -- some factors that are currently neglected or underutilized:

Landslides are a major class of disaster in equatorial alpine regions.10,11 Better danger zone classification ("landslide susceptibility zonation") could help keep people out of the riskier areas. Better landslide prediction could save human lives and help preserve local economic capacity. Neither problem is easy, however. The ability to fly over the same point several times per day could make it possible to consider in more detail -- and in a more timely manner -- some factors that are currently neglected or underutilized:
- local precipitation1213
- hydrological changes
- "slumps" - slow earth movement that might presage faster movement
- herds of animals that could precipitate slides by grazing on unstable slopes14
One of Project Persephone's medium-term R&D activities is to support the launch of remote-sensing satellites into equatorial low Earth orbit? (ELEO) for disaster warning, environmental monitoring and emergency communications. ELEO makes it possible to overfly the same point every 90 minutes, which might significantly improve on existing landslide prediction and disaster response in remote areas. Even Cubesat-size satellites might be able to detect changes in river water color that point to an increased likelihood of mountainside mud flows.15
One of the current activities is the equatorial landslide newsfeed.

Hi Alejna --Am glad my photos heelpd make you see why this hike's a favorite! :)Hi sbk --You mean the cable car building in the sixth photo from the top, right? For that's the cable car terminus up on Ngong Ping (versus the cable car building in the fourth photo from the top that's just a midway point that you can't get off at).At the terminus up on Ngong Ping, you get deposited almost directly into the new/artificially created Ngong Ping "village", then you can go on a path that leads you within minutes to the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery.Hi W --I went closer to the Wisdom Path on a couple of other hikes but haven't ventured into the actual area. It looks too touristy and crowded -- and it also looks as though the inscriptions are all in Chinese and no translations of them are provided in English. Am I wrong about that?

Landslides are a major class of disaster in equatorial alpine regions. Better landslide susceptibility zonation could keep people out of the more dangerous areas. Better landslide prediction could save human lives and property. The ability to fly over the same point several times per day could make it possible to consider in more detail some factors that are currently neglected or underutilized:
Landslides are a major class of disaster in equatorial alpine regions. Better danger zone classification ("landslide susceptibility zonation") could keep people out of the riskier areas. Better landslide prediction could save human lives and property. Neither problem is easy, however. The ability to fly over the same point several times per day could make it possible to consider in more detail some factors that are currently neglected or underutilized:

One of Project Persephone's near-term activities is to support the launch of satellites into equatorial low Earth orbit? (ELEO) for disaster warning, environmental monitoring and emergency communications. ELEO makes it possible to overfly the same point every 90 minutes.
One of Project Persephone's near-term activities is to support the launch of remote-sensing satellites into equatorial low Earth orbit? (ELEO) for disaster warning, environmental monitoring and emergency communications. ELEO makes it possible to overfly the same point every 90 minutes, which might greatly improve on existing landslide prediction and disaster response in remote areas.
One of Project Persephone's near-term activities is to support the launch of satellites into equatorial low Earth orbit? (ELEO) for disaster warning, environmental monitoring and emergency communications. Some remote sensing problems become much easier if a given point on Earth can be closely monitored several times per day. ELEO makes it possible to overfly the same point every 90 minutes.

- hydrological changes
- "slumps" - slow earth movement that might presage faster movement
- herds of animals that could precipitate slides by grazing on unstable slopes
