Publisher's Synopsis
The book aims to enhance understanding of landslides by focusing on detection, prediction, and monitoring. Recently, the number of significant landslides and the damage they cause has increased globally. Landslides are among the most devastating natural hazards, resulting in widespread damage to habitats on local, regional, and global scales. Experts from around the world have shared their experiences in landslide research and practice, which may help stakeholders mitigate and predict these events. The book comprises chapters on
✔ Dynamics, mechanisms, and processes of landslides.
✔ Mapping and assessment of hazard, vulnerability, and risk associated with landslides.
✔ Geological, geotechnical, hydrological, and geophysical modelling for landslides.
✔ Numerical simulation of slope to analyse their stability.
✔ Monitoring and early warning of landslides.
✔ Application of remote sensing and GIS techniques in monitoring and assessment of landslides.
The book is very much helpful for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to adapt suitable modern techniques for landslide study.
