TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of monitoring the landmass of Great Britain with satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, by analysing ERS-1/2 SAR and ENVISAT IS2 Advanced SAR (ASAR) archive data availability, geometric distortions and land cover control on the success of (non-)interferometric analyses, is assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the general specifications for nested, Tier-based geographical landslide zonings at small spatial scales to identify priority areas susceptible to landslides (Tier 1) and to perform quantitative susceptibility evaluations within these (Tier 2).

TL;DR: In this article, a landslide density map was produced for the available records from the Geological Surveys (LANDEN map) showing, for the first time, 210,544 km2 landslide-prone areas and 23,681 administrative areas where the Geological Survey from Europe have recorded landslides.

TL;DR: The National Landslide Database (NLDB) as mentioned in this paper is the most extensive source of information on landslides in Great Britain with over 17,000 records of landslide events to date.

TL;DR: The UK is a country with limited direct experience of natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods as discussed by the authors, and a strategic management framework has evolved based upon small, low-impact events punctuated by occasional larger events or larger landslides affecting urban areas.
