Landslide dammed-lakes detection and monitoring after the Kaikoura earthquake in New Zealand
This repository centralizes the main processing steps to detect and monitor landslide-dammed lakes in NZ. It accompanies a paper published in STOTEN This study is part of the AW-funded RiCoLa project.

Detecting landslide-dammed lakes on Sentinel-2 imagery and monitoring their spatio-temporal evolution following the Kaikura earthquake in New Zealand. Science of The Total Environment, 153335. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153335
The objective of the study is to automatically map the landslide-dammed lakes caused by the 2016 Kaikura earthquake in New Zealand and to monitor their evolution at different points in time, using time series of Sentinel-2 imagery and GEE.
The figure below shows an overview of the methodology followed:

The main analysis was performed on Google Earth Engine (GEE), and its corresponding repository can be found here. To access the code files, you will need to have a GEE account.
If you would only like to see the main code, without a GEE account, see the gee-code directory.
The resulting datasets from the analysis are archived as assets here.
Some steps were done outside GEE including:
The resulting layer was then ingested into GEE.
A preview of how the GEE editor would look like with our results is shown below:
