H035 Session Call: "A hierarchy of satellite rainfall data is currently used
in a wide range of scientific research and societal applications.
Assessments of these data products offer valuable lessons for the
development of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission,
which is scheduled for launch in 2014 to provide next-generation global
precipitation data products. This session invites contributions in all areas
of precipitation science including remote sensing algorithms, ground
validation activities, intersatellite calibration methods, data fusion
techniques, and data utilization in hydrologic, weather, climate, and
other societal applications."

Session Description: Evaluating and forecasting landslide triggering
conditions, surface mechanisms and impacts is challenging due to the small
scales they often occupy and range of geologic settings in which they occur.
This session will explore the multifaceted topic of landslide forecasting, hazard,
and risk through the use of remotely sensed, field-based, and in situ
investigations. Presentations may concentrate on procedures for hazard and
risk assessment, model development and validation, and integration of remote
sensing methodologies with field-based and in situ evaluations. The session
also invites case studies, scale analyses, and socioeconomic surveys.
