Impact
1
This technique simplifies the collection of precise spatial data, enhancing geological assessments in hazard-prone areas. It improves monitoring and analysis of dynamic geohazards like landslides and floods, enabling more accurate predictions and better-informed risk management strategies.
2
By integrating diverse geological features, this method produces high-precision digital twins replicating real-world terrain and hazard conditions. These models enhance visualization and analysis, equipping researchers and decision-makers with deeper insights to predict, assess, and mitigate complex geological risks.
3
These digital twins deliver high-resolution, actionable insights that enhance disaster prediction, planning, and response. By improving risk assessment and decision-making, they strengthen community preparedness and resilience, ensuring better protection against geohazards and minimizing potential impacts.
