Landslide Analysis and Early Warning Systems: Local and Regional Case Study in the Swabian Alb, Germany
ISBN: 9783642275258 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent landslide events demonstrate the need to improve landslide forecasting and early warning capabilities in order to reduce related risks and protect human lives. In this thesis, local and regional investigations were carried out to analyse landslide characteristics in the Swabian Alb region, and to develop prototypic landslide early warning systems.
In the local study area, an extensive hydrological and slope movement monitoring system was installed on a seasonally reactivated landslide body located in Lichtenstein- Unterhausen. Monitoring data was analysed to assess the... Recent landslide events demonstrate the need to improve landslide forecasting and early warning capabilities in order to reduce related risks and prot...
