After a large landslide event in Sibratsgfäll/Austria several exploration methods were evaluated on their applicability to investigate and monitor landslide areas. The resulting optimised strategy consists of the combined application of airborne electromagnetics, ground geoelectrical measurements and geoelectrical monitoring combined with hydrological and geological mapping and geotechnical mod...

On 15–16 December 1999, heavy rainfall severely stroke Campania region (southern Italy), triggering numerous debris flows on the slopes of the San Martino Valle Caudina-Cervinara area. Soil slips originated within the weathered volcaniclastic mantle of soil cover overlying the carbonate skeleton of the massif. Debris slides turned into fast flowing mixtures of matrix and large blocks, downslope...

Landslides are one kind of slopes processes have been take place in some area at worldwide and Iran every year, and they are associated with damaged, many people are harmed and losses their properties. The aim of this research landslide hazard assessment in central zab basin in the southwest mountainsides of West-Azerbaijan province, Iran by using information layers and effective factors in lan...

The growth of population in a worldwide scale and the social vulnerability of different human communities subjected to war, economy collapse, ethnical persecution and poverty impose a strong pressure to occupy multi-hazard environments, like flood plains and hill slopes subject to landslides (Sullivan-Wiley and Gianotti 2017). As human communities occupy unstable hill slope areas, activities li...

Liechtenstein has faced an increasing number of natural hazards over recent decades: debris flows, slides, snow avalanches and floods repeatedly endanger the local infrastructure. Geomorphological field mapping and geoelectrical profiling was used to assess hazards near Malbun, a village potentially endangered by landslides, and especially debris flows. The area is located on the tectonic conta...

Landslides are the most common natural hazard in Piemonte region (northwestern Italy). This study is focused on shallow landslides caused by sliding of surficial detrital-colluvial cover rainfall and characterized a sudden fast evolution. investigates landslide events compared with variables considered as main predisposing qualitative factors (lithology, pedology land use) to obtain zonation su...

A general methodology for the probabilistic evaluation of landslide hazard is applied, taking in account both the landslide susceptibility and the instability triggering factors, mainly rainfall. The method is applied in the FanhõesTrancão test site (north of Lisbon, Portugal) where 100 shallow translational slides were mapped and integrated into a GIS database. For the landslide susceptibility...
