Integrating Remote Sensing and Geotechnical Data for Enhanced Disaster Risk Management

Authors : Dr. Raghav Sharma, Ms. Kavita Menon

Abstract : The integration of remote sensing and geotechnical data is emerging as a powerful approach for enhancing disaster risk management (DRM) strategies. Remote sensing technologies offer timely, large-scale, and cost-effective observations, while geotechnical data provide crucial insights into the mechanical and physical behavior of soils and rocks. This paper explores how combining these datasets improves hazard assessment, early warning systems, and resilience planning for disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, and floods. Case studies are discussed to illustrate the practical implications of the integration, and a framework is proposed for effective data fusion, enabling more accurate predictions and mitigation strategies. Keywords: Remote Sensing, Geotechnical Data, Disaster Risk Management, Landslides, Flood Monitoring, Data Integration strategies.
