Citizen science for landslide risk reduction and disaster resilience building in mountain regions This project aims to leverage recent technological and conceptual breakthroughs in environmental data collection, processing and communication to enhance resilience building in data-scarce and poor mountain communities in South Asia. Using the Karnali basin in Western Nepal as a pilot study, the project will combine monitoring of precipitation, river flow, soil moisture, and geomorphology with a participatory citizen science approach to generate landslide risk maps at unprecedented resolution, and design and implement a framework for bottom-up and polycentric community disaster resilience, based upon knowledge co-generation and sharing. Research and development activity contributing to the UK’s strategy to address key development challenges.
