Representative Achievements

Landslide predictions are mostly posteriori models. Potential landslides are the most potential geological disasters in the future. The research on the potential landslides deformation evolution and instability prediction based on the geological background and formation mechanisms of landslides are of great significance. this project intends to select the typical reach of the Jinsha River as the study area, and 1) to focus on the landslides geological background and the formation mechanisms based on multi-source investigation, to establish landslides formation mechanisms and space-time pattern cataloging system; 2) to acquire accurate slope deformation information based on InSAR technology, and to identify potential landslides boundaries based on the identification system, and to establish potential landslides multi-source data fitting model with geological topography and slope structure, and to study the potential landslides evolution mechanisms considering existing landslides formation mechanisms and potential landslides deformation time series in complicated slopes; 3) to summarize landslide controlling factors based on attributes reduction and stochastic forest model, and to establish regional instability prediction evaluation index system, and to establish a feasible regional potential landslide instability prediction model considering the slope deformation zone. This project will build a feasible potential landslide instability prediction system, which provides a theoretical basis and technical support for solving the slope disaster evolution of complex structures in the Jinsha River.
