Calculation of the Coseismic Landslide Volume Using DEMs: An Example from the Yingxiu Area, Wenchuan, Sichuan, China

Volume calculation is important for quantifying the erosion driven by coseismic landslides in geomorphology. With the advent of digital elevation models (DEMs), quantifying features of landslide bodies have become possible, permitting to calculate the landslide volume in terms of elevation changes....
