Symposium Description
- Introduce current research projects by DOGAMI and USGS, including those involving lidar, and future map products
- Present some risk reduction information and possible future risk management practice
Goals
- Provide a forum for the exchange of landslide information between government agencies, academia, and private industry
- Review current DOGAMI/USGS partnership and project directions
- Promote risk management
- Form preliminary statewide landslide advisory group (for reducing damage from landslides)
- Improve state-of-practice regional landslide analyzes and assessments
- Obtain ideas for 2009 Geological Society of America conference in Portland
