Identification and Mitigation of Large Landslide Risks in Europe: Advances in Risk Assessment

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

The assessment of risks due to large landslides in the alpine environment is the first activity carried out within the IMIRILAND Project. This book presents the risk assessment procedure developed and the case studies performed within the framework of the IMIRILAND Project to develop risk management methodologies and mitigation strategies. It details the multidisciplinary approach to the hazard analysis of some selected large landslides examined with a particular focus on geological, geomorphological, and geo-mechanical methods. In addition, it demonstrates the vulnerability and risk analyses carried out to enable the consideration of direct and indirect consequences, as well as technical and social impacts.
