TXT-tool 1.081-7.1: Investigating landslides in the field using google earth and powerpoint: A case study of altos de loarque in honduras

Abstract

This teaching tool shows how to make a landslide map using Google Earth at the investigation site. The mapping technique was based on an empirical knowledge of the site Altos de Loarque in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. In this case, we used an image from Google Earth and a Brunton compass in the field. We used the compass to measure levels in the field, as there is no precise topographic map of the site, due to security concerns, and limited time to investigate.
