Monitoring of deep-seated rock slides in hiph-alpine environment
Abstract
Large-scale landslides are common phenomena in the Alps that possess potential hazard to human lives and infrastructures. Just recently, a dramatic event causing several fatalities occurred in Bergell (Switzerland) last summer. In order to perform comprehensive hazard assessment and risk mitigation, it is therefore essential to identify and profoundly understand the behaviour of landslide processes. In the framework of the dissertation thesis of Christina Rechberger, M.Sc., an active deep-seated rockslide at Marzellkamm in Vent, Tirol is comprehensively investigated. The aim of this project is the characterization of the kinematics, the temporal variable deformation behaviour and the determination of the hydro-mechanical processes with regard to glacier retreat. Therefore, a comprehensive monitoring system will be installed which comprises a) extensometers and cameras for continuous surveillance, b) regular tachymetric survey campaigns of installed reflectors, c) remote sensing data from ortho-images and laserscanner measurements (ALS-/TLS-measurements). The designed monitoring system is described in more detail in the proposal submitted to the Austrian Society for Geomechanics.
