OASYS — Integrated Optimization of Landslide Alert Systems

A Window on the Future of Geodesy

Part of the book series: International Association of Geodesy Symposia ((IAG SYMPOSIA,volume 128))

Abstract

In the past there has been a wide range of research work on landslides. However, most of this research has been carried out by a single discipline such as geology or geodesy. Therefore an international and interdisciplinary project was started. The proponents of the project, sponsored by the European Union, believe that a multidisciplinary integration of different methods has the greatest potential for substantial progress in natural hazards management. The goal of the project is the development of methods that allow: The detection of potential landslides, an efficient and continuous observation of critical areas, the derivation of real time information about actual risks.

This can be achieved by three steps:

  1. Detecting of potential landslides by large scale monitoring.

  2. Detecting of taking-off-domains by local scale monitoring.

  3. Impact and risk assessment and development for strategies for alert systems.
