Prof. Mukhiddin Juliev gave a presentation on mass movements in Uzbekistan. He introduced mass movement processes such as landslides in Uzbekistan, as well as the monitoring and assessment. He detailed specific cases on landslide susceptibility mapping and surface displacement detection, using remote sensing images, statistical methods, and machine learning methods. He pointed out the limited access to high-resolution data and insufficient funding in monitoring mass movements in Uzbekistan, and put forward recommendations for improvement, such as capacity building and adopting modern technologies. After the presentation, participants discussed on monitoring, prediction and early warning of mass movements.
