Brienz has just been evacuated for the second time. The decision is based, among other things, on thousands of simulations that ETH professor Jordan Aaron has produced using a computer model he developed. In an interview with ETH News, he explains why this model was used.

Crisp day of #monitoring #landslides along the Tagliamento River Valley. #UAV #GNSS #SHM #Tunnel #VeryCold

Long-term monitoring takes a lot of patience, here in #Malta we are following the displacements of #coastal #landslides since 2005. However, if the #landscape is beautiful as such, taking some time for an accurate #GNSS survey is not so bad.

Great day for lidar surveys on small alpine catchments - just before the first fall of snow

Working on #natural_hazard affecting Long Linear #Infrastructures ( #monitoring #risk)? There is a call for abstract for you! session NH9.11 #EGU "Resilient Management of Long Linear Infrastructures in a Changing Climate" meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... @eurogeosciences.bsky.social

That was huge!

Hi Luca, if you send me a DM I can give you the contacts of the PI of the project and more info

We describe the problem and then chronicle how evidence-based decisions were made to handle it. We think that sharing the lesson in the risk management of a potential geo-disaster in a new narrative form is relevant to the scientific community facing similar issues.

Based on DEM of difference maps, new insight into the behaviour of the #catchment emerged - A photo of the present - assessing #sediment dynamics, how much material could be stored in the channel and the expected damage to the built environment should another event occur

Starting in 1789 "This paper tells a story [...] large-scale active #landslides with relevant associated risk are like “chronic patients”. The description of past events and the history of how the risk was managed are crucial elements representing their “medical records”

"Our job is to be prepared to the best of our knowledge and provide insight to narrowing the landscape of the possible outcomes to a likelihood of different futures"
New paper! https://rdcu.be/dYDPE on forward modelling, EWS and #landslide #risk #mitigation

Matteo Mantovani @CNR_IRPI @Georisk_IRPI as an invited speaker in #Malta, discussing about #coastal #landslides and long-term #monitoring

"There is no one recipe-fits-all solution for #monitoring #landslides" but if you want to know the basics (and the general philosophy) of it check out this new chapter https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780443132155000073

Key findings include:
- Significant influence of cliff height on erosion rates.
- Use of UAV and geomechanical surveys to analyze morphological characteristics.
- Application of Random Forest and eXtreme Gradient Boosting algorithms for precise erosion prediction.

Two days of sharing science and brainstorming with stakeholders at the @gitonline conference. @Georisk_IRPI presenting and chairing the "Monitoring and Modelling for risk mitigation in the era of multi-temporal data" session

Matteo Mantovani @Georisk_IRPI today presented at #EGU2024 "An effective method to detect and measure earthflow displacements using a hybrid interferometric approach" to enhance spatial sampling of #sentinel1 derived data and monitor #landslides moving up to tens of cm/year

By introducing the concreteness of uncertainty, the design of countermeasure works for landslide risk mitigation becomes an iterative process with explicit levels of reliability associated with their economic and environmental impacts, crucial to inform #decision makers. (5/5)

Instead, it fosters a continuous cycle of improvement and adaptation, reflecting the dynamic interactions between #landscape, #hazard, and human interventions. Following this approach, #uncertainty becomes an opportunity rather than a weakness. (4/5)

The iterative nature of the 3M approach allows for a more immediate and flexible response to #landslide hazards, moving away from the traditional linear pathway of assessment, design, and implementation. (3/5)

It incorporates over 20 years of site investigations and monitoring to continuously update the engineering geological model. Additionally monitoring provides data on the effectiveness of implemented structural mitigation measures and on how to improve their performance (2/5)
