- Landslides monitoring techniques review in the Geological Surveys of EuropePublication . Auflič, Mateja Jemec; Herrera, Gerardo; Mateos, Rosa María; Poyiadji, Eleftheria; Quental, Lídia; Severine, Bernardie; Peternel, Tina; Podolszki, Laszlo; Iadanza, Carla; Kociu, Arben; Warmuz, Bartłomiej; Jelének, Jan; Hadjicharalambous, Kleopas; Becher, Gustaf Peterson; Dashwood, Claire; Liščák, Pavel; Minkevičius, Vytautas; Todorović, Saša; Møller, Jens JørgenABSTRACT: Landsliding is the downslope movement of surface material under the force of gravity, initiated when gravitational and other types of shear stresses within the slope exceed the shear strength of the material that forms the slope. Often, landslides pose a physical and environmental threat to communities living in landslide-prone areas. While much landslide research focuses on monitoring techniques to define the background of the landslide (extent, volume, velocity, magnitude) one of the main goals of the Geological Surveys (GS) are to support and understand the regional and local geology to identify areas susceptible to landslides.
