Abstract

This paper discusses a proposition of the landslide monitoring system within the framework of the project on modeling of the relation of landslide displacement and rainfall in the Czech flysch Carpathians, using wireless, remote sensing and GIS techniques. Its main objective is to develop a model which would reveal this relation, and to that end, a compound landslide monitoring system is proposed. This system should handle two different phenomena, so it can be separated in two parts. The first part regards the monitoring of superficial and subsurface dynamics. Proposed methodology involves: periodic monitoring of the terrain surface by GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) survey and areal photogrammetry, continual monitoring by in-place inclinometers and TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) installations. These two could be cross-correlated and reveal certain regularity, and also comparison of inclinometer and TDR system can be made. The second part is designed to monitor: on-ground precipitation continuously, piezometric pressure heads (groundwater table) periodically. Relations between precipitation and groundwater regime can then be defined. Finally, overlapping of the latter with the displacement records will provide information for designing a model of landslide-rainfall relation and estimation of rainfall thresholds that are necessary for the landslide (re)activation.
