Techniques for the Modelling of the Process Systems in Slow and Fast-Moving Landslides

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mountain Risks: From Prediction to Management and Governance

Part of the book series: Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research ((NTHR,volume 34))

Abstract

This chapter reviews some of the current strategies for landslide modelling. Main physical processes in landslides are first recalled. Numerical tools are then introduced for the analysis of the behaviour of slow- and fast-moving landslides. Representative case studies are introduced through the chapter to highlight how different modelling strategies can be used depending on the physical processes that the modeller wants to take into account.
