NASA | Global Landslide Catalog Aids View From Space

The video discusses global rainfall-triggered landslides, highlighting a map showing 6000 landslides since 2007. Most occur during the Northern hemisphere summer, aligning with tropical cyclone and monsoon seasons. Heavy rains cause fast-moving flows of debris, leading to destruction. Since 2007, over 20,000 deaths have been recorded, mainly in Asia and Southeast Asia. Scientists use NASA satellite data to better understand landslide occurrences.
