Landslides Risk italiano

Landslides, and in a more general sense, mass movements, cause severe damages both in terms of casualties as well as in terms of economic losses. Silent mass movements are so frequent that the cumulative damage caused by these unspectacular phenomena may even exceed the ones caused by disastrous landslide events.
In Italy in 80 years there had been 11.000 landslides.
IES’s efforts are oriented to the following aspects:

  • Definition of landslide hazard on the base of various data sources, i.e., spaceborn data, data from field campaigns, historical data
  • Development of monitoring methods on regional and national scale on the base spaceborn data, data from field compaigns
