The application of the geotechnical methods and satellite tracking data for landslide studies

The rapid development in Malaysia such as housing scheme at hilly terrain, construction of highways, mining activities and river bank instability especially in town areas such as Kuala Lumpur and Penang has triggered many landslide disasters. Since 1970 until 2002, more than 300 landslides have occu...
