Google Maps and Google Earth are very common platforms today to explore maps and satellite images of the earth. But there are many other ways to explore the earth. Some are listed here. 1. Earth Explorer This map is developed by USGS helpful to obtain earth imagery across available geo-spatial data types. Users can navigate via interactive map or text search to obtain Landsat satellite imagery, Radar data, UAS data, digital line graphs, digital elevation model data, aerial photos, Sentinel satellite data, some commercial satellite imagery including IKONOS and OrbView3, land cover data, digital map data from the National Map, and many other datasets. Users can search by exact location via the interactive map or input specific coordinates to view what data types are available. 2. Sentinel Hub This platform developed by Sinergise has Sentinel, Landsat, and other Earth observation imagery easily accessible for browsing, visualization and analysi...
The landslide is located at Lamuni-Danpur area, Purchaudi Municipality-8 of Baitadi District, Sudurpaschim Province.
The
Lamuni-Danpur landslide covers about 0.8 sq.km as traced on recent google
image. Three villages, Lamuni on east, Danpur on west and Tudet on north are
affected due to landslide. As per locals, the landslide is more than 100 years
old. About 110 houses have been shifted till now along with loss of cultivable
land. The landslide covers forest area of two community forests, Gopeswor Community
Forest, Lamuni and Devsthal Community Forest, Danpur. Kedar temple lies about 90m
away from the south west part of the landslide. Presently, the landslide is
extending toward the Lamuni Village. Some crown cracks has been developed Nearby
Lamuni Village. The people residing there are posing great threat of landslide.
The lithology within landslide was dominated by light grey to green phyllite with some quartzite and schist. The Phyllite Unit is overlain by Quartzite and Schist Unit. Based on the regional geology of the area, thrust separates these two units. Overall the beds are north dipping and the general dip amount is ranges from 28-40 o. The dipping of the bed/foliation is along the hill slope and most of beds are gently dipping than the hill slope which favored the failure. Lithology and thrust may have significant contribution to the occurrence and progression of the landslide.
