Modelling erosion and landslides induced by farming activities at Hilly Areas, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
This work was conducted at hilly farms of Cameron Highlands to model the incidences of soil erosion and landslides using historical data and field observations. IfSAR data with spatial resolution of 5 m was used which enable clear observation and delineation of the geographic features within the stu...
