Advancing river monitoring using image-based techniques: challenges and opportunities

Enhanced and effective hydrological monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding water-related processes in a rapidly changing world. Within this context, image-based river monitoring has been shown to significantly enhance data collection, improve analysis and accuracy, and support effective and timely decision making. The integration of...

Characterization and hydrological analysis of the guarumales deep-seated landslide in the tropical ecuadorian andes

The high landslide risk potential along the steep hillslopes of the Eastern Andes in Ecuador provides challenges for hazard mitigation, especially in areas with hydropower dams and reservoirs. The objective of this study was to characterize, understand, and quantify the mechanisms driving the motions of the Guarumales landslide. This 1.5 km...

Non-invasive water content estimation in a tuff wall by DTS

Undesired presence of water in historical masonries has a negative effect on the walls and causes deterioration of decorative works covering the walls, such as frescoes and valuable plasters. To prevent this, non-invasive moisture measurements are needed that avoid damage during masonry inspection caused by sample taking or probe insertion....

The Round Robin Test on Landslide Hydrological Modeling at IWL2013

During the Third Italian Workshop on Landslide, a special session was dedicated to a landslide hydrological modeling competition. The modeling exercise dealt with slopes covered with loose granular pyroclastic deposits typical of Campania (southern Italy). The data provided to the participants for the calibration of their models are described,...
