Landslides are an important factor of landform evolution. Current investigation procedures are commonly focused either on local, site specific investigations or on regional analysis. Observation methods range from geotechnical in-situ measurement devices to spatial analysis techniques like GIS, including remote sensing tools. The results give important information on current situations, but often neglect any changes within the natural system. The environment is continuously under change, however, some changes influence landslide occurrence on long time scales over large areas (e.g. weathering), others operate on short time scales in localized settings (e.g. local bush fire). Therefore, the preparatory, triggering and controlling factors of landslides do change in time and space – irrespective of landslide type and location. A changing environment can affect the incidence of different landlside types and the susceptibility of different environments e.g., rock falls and debris flows in high mountains, coastal landslides, deep seated rotational slides and slumps, and shallow landslides in moderately sloping hill country.
This session aims to review concepts, approaches and applications addressing landslide behaviour in a changing environment. Participation of both, researchers and practitioners is strongly encouraged. Papers may be submitted on: research in science and engineering, case studies drawn on professional practice and consulting, and position papers based on large and rich experience gained through executive/managerial practices and decision-making.
