Introduction to the different landslide types and to the main characterization and numerical modelling methods of the triggering and runout mechanisms. Theoretical principles, data acquisition methodologies and application examples of the main surveying and monitoring technologies for ground displacements. Landslide Early Warning Systems on a local and regional scale, with particular reference to their temporal and spatial forecasting concerns.
Learn the main survey and monitoring techniques to be employed for different ground deformation types, with special aim to the quick definition of risk scenarios in emergency situations and early warning systems.
