Abstract
In course of the alpEWAS (\(=\) alpine Early Warning System) research project a cost-effective landslide monitoring and early warning system has been developed between 2007 and 2010. The core of the project has been the development and testing of the three innovative, economically and continuously working measurement systems time domain reflectometry (TDR) for the detection of subsurface displacements in boreholes and reflectorless video tacheometry (VTPS) and low cost global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for the determination of 3D surface movements. These measurement systems are combined together with systems monitoring the trigger factors such as precipitation in a geo sensor network which can be accessed remotely through the internet, thus enabling to forward all data in near real time. The Aggenalm Landslide (Bavarian Alps in the vicinity of Bayrischzell) was chosen as a field laboratory for the alpEWAS project. For more than two years the system has been working continuously except for minor disruptions, acquiring and recording all data.
