A massive landslide occurred near Mantam village (opposite the Passingdang– Mantam Road) in Sikkim, India around 13:30 h (IST) on 13 August 2016 (Figure 1 a). The location (at the centre of the zone of depletion) of the landslide was 27°32'22.92"N and 88°30'2.47"E. According to the news reports, formation of a lake and consequent rise in water level had submerged the bridge over Kanaka river and washed away about 300 m stretch of the road. Five houses in Mantam village were also submerged. The villages of Tingvong, Lingdem, Laven, Kayeem, Lingzya, Bay, Sakyong Pentong and Ruklu Kayeem were cut-off due to damage to the connecting road. However, there were no human deaths reported due to the incident.Full Text

On 13 August 2017, a massive landslide occurred close to the village of Kotropi (near Kotropi bus stop) in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, India. It occurred on National Highway 154, the road between Mandi and Pathankot. Media reports suggest that a section of the slope totally collapsed and two buses of the Himachal State Transport Corporation along with few other vehicles were buried under the debris. News reports also suggest that there have been 46 fatalities from the incident. Around 300 m of the highway has been completely buried under debris, thus disrupting communication on an important route1.Full Text

Excess rainfall during August 2018 triggered numerous landslides in the Western Ghats region of India covering the states of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. These landslides caused widespread damage to property, loss of life and adversely affected various land resources. In this article, we present an inventory of landslide prepared from the analysis of multitemporal high-resolution images acquired before and after the rainfall event from Resourcesat-2, WorldView-2, GF-2, SPOT-6 and 7, Pleiades-1, Kompsat-3 and Sentinel-2 Earth observation satellites. A total of 6970 landslides with a cumulative area of 22.6 sq. km were mapped for this rainfall event. Majority of landslides have occurred in Kerala (5191), followed by Karnataka (993) and Tamil Nadu (606). Landslides are mostly debris slide and debris flow type with entrainment along the channels. Results show that landslides (83.2%) are triggered by very high rainfall. Also, very high rainfall has resulted in 14.9% of landslides even though slopes are moderate, mainly in the Kodagu district of Karnataka.Keywords

Liquefaction susceptibility (LS) assessment is a necessary input for seismic zonation studies. LS can be done using geospatial models by integration of thematic layers. In this study, we have used analytical hierarchy process for integration of thematic layers (e.g. water table depth, peak horizontal acceleration, etc.) to generate a regional LS map for Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh in India. The final map was classified as liquefaction-likely, liquefaction-possible and liquefaction-not-likely zones. Results show Doon valley and Himalayan foothills are more prone to LS than the higher Himalayas.Keywords
