Geomorphological investigations on landslide dams

A Geomorphological Model for Landslide Detection Using Airborne Lidar Data

This study analyzes multi-temporal LiDAR data of high accuracy and high resolution by installing a geomorphometric model for extracting landslides. First, two sets of LiDAR data were acquired for before and after a heavy rainfall event. The landslides which took place from 2005 to 2009 were classified automatically by satellite images, and subsequently the landslides were interpreted and edited...

Investigations on the Relation of Geomorphological Parameters to DEM Accuracy

Engineering Geology Landslide Investigations and SAR Interferometry

We can distinguish three phases of using the SAR and other EO satellite data in landslide studies: 1. Surface characterisation, ie initial topographic and geomorphological classification, DEMs, photogrammetry (using Spot and Landsat); 2. Measurement of slow to extremely slow slope movements by means of SAR interferometry; 3. Systematic monitoring of temporal-spatial variations in some slide pro...

Geomorphological features and monitoring of a large and complex landslide near Avigliano urban area (South Italy)

This paper reports the results of geological and geomorphological surveys and the first results of a still in progress GPS monitoring campaign1, taken on a large and ancient landslide located near Avigliano town (Basilicata region, South Italy). The landslide occurs on structurally complex clayey-marly terrains and it is classifiable as a multiple and complex roto-translational-earthflow landsl...
