International Consortium on Landslides is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand International Consortium on Landslides rather than just read about it. In short: The International Consortium on Landslides is a non-governmental organization created in 2002 to promote landslide research, education, and risk evaluation and reduction. It is located in Kyoto, Japan.

Key takeaways

International Consortium on Landslides belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect International Consortium on Landslides to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of International Consortium on Landslides from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The International Consortium on Landslides is a non-governmental organization created in 2002 to promote landslide research, education, and risk evaluation and reduction. It is located in Kyoto, Japan. The organization has consultative status with UNESCO. The ICL's journal is Landslides. It holds regular symposiums, including the World Landslide Forum, which is held every three years by its "International Programme on Landslides". It has various committees and programs, and was a co-founder of the "2006 Tokyo Action Plan", to carry out global cooperation on landslide monitoring and early warning; hazard mapping, vulnerability, and risk assessment; study of catastrophic landslides and landslides that threaten culturally important sites; and preparedness, mitigation, and recovery after landslides. As of 2012, the organization had 52 member organizations, such as the United States Geological Survey, the China Geological Survey, the National Institute of Disaster Management in India, and the Disaster Prevention Research Institute at Kyoto University.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with International Consortium on Landslides

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what International Consortium on Landslides claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to International Consortium on Landslides before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about International Consortium on Landslides ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of International Consortium on Landslides

In research: International Consortium on Landslides appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses International Consortium on Landslides in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: International Consortium on Landslides is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Landslides, Non-profit organizations based in Japan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for International Consortium on Landslides outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
