Last week the 12th International Symposium on landslides (ISL) took place in Naples, Italy. Many interesting topics were presented by experienced scientists and practitioners at a very nice location! Check out the homepage for all the contributions:

Preliminary results of the C3S-ISLS project were presented at the 17th Austrian Climate Day 2016 in Graz. The presentation can be accessed here.

The shallow landslide inventory and related issues were published as a paper in Geomorphology. The paper can be accessed publicliy for 50 days via this link: http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1SZPH,3sl3Xgmu

In Austria shallow landslides are usually triggered by prolonged, intense rainfalls. The Figure below shows a comparison of the number of landslides mapped in the respective orthophoto series for the Laternser valley (Vorarlberg, Austria) with the two-day precipitation sum of … Continue reading →

As a first step of any study on landslide susceptibility, hazard or risk a landslide inventory is compiled. In the project C3S-ISLS an inventory focussing on shallow landslides was prepared for the study areas Laternser valley, Kleinwalser valley and the … Continue reading →

Last week I joined Prof. Seijmonsbergen (University of Amsterdam) and his group of students in an excursion on geomorphology in Vorarlberg. Landforms originating from late-glacial ice decay, processes occurring during the Holocene as well as more recent activity were discussed. … Continue reading →
