Abstract
The objective of this work is to present a methodology for the near-real time characterization of displacements using permanent GPS stations on landslides. In France, several GPS receivers have been installed on active landslides since a few years. These landslides show very different displacement rates and kinematic regimes. For the monitoring of landslides where the required degree of accuracy is millimetric, GPS has been mainly used for repeated measurements, as a complement to conventional geodetic methods. Permanent monitoring is still not usually performed operationally.
