A total of 4200 landslides have been identified in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. It is planned that a total of 3200 landslides (i.e., 75% of the total number of landslides) will be monitored. Since 2003, the authors have carried out a geo-hazard real-time ...

In context of global climate change and the continuous extension of settlement areas in the Alps especially due to tourism, an increasing conflict between land use and natural hazard prevention can be observed. This also includes deep seated landslides, which ...

<p>Early warning systems are becoming one of the main pillars of disaster prevention in natural hazards especially where mitigation strategies are not realizable. Therefore, the call for multi-hazard early warning systems and improvement of monitoring of natural ...

Beyond risk communication and public awareness campaigns, pro-active strategies for the mitigation of risk associated with landslides can broadly be categorised as (1) structural slope-stabilization measures to reduce the frequency and severity of the landslide ...

<p>It is widely recognised that soil slips and debris flows are triggered by short intense storms. Owing its geologic, geomorphologic and climatic settings, the Piedmont Region (NW Italy) is highly prone to the occurrence of this kind of landslides. In the ...

<p>Investigation and slope stability analysis indicated the remediation options were limited to the re-alignment of the highway. However, re-alignment of the highway would be costly and require time to design and construct. Daily inspection and monitoring ...

This paper describes the technical instrumentation used by the ILEWS Project to build up a landslide early warning system. Measurements of landslide movement and soil-water-status are conducted and integrated into a physically-based slope stability model for ...
