Abstract

This research considers the support provided by remote sensing and GIS methods for the delineation of potential sites susceptible to natural hazards such as earthquakes, flash floods and karst phenomena in the Black Hills area in South Dakota and Wyoming, USA. By an integration of satellite data (Landsat, Sentinel), evaluations of digital elevation model data (DEM) and DEM derived morphometric maps, meteorological, geophysical and geological data in a GIS database an overview of potentially affected sites could be achieved. The analysis of digital enhanced satellite imageries, digital topographic data and open source geodata contributed to the acquisition of the specific tectonic, geomorphologic / topographic settings influencing local site Original Research Article
