Activities of the Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection, of the Italian National Research Council, World Centre of Excellence on landslide risk

Abstract

In this report, we summarise the activities of the Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection (IRPI, http://www.irpi.cnr.it/en/ ), of the Italian National Research Council (CNR, http://www.cnr.it/en/ ), as a World Centre of Excellence (WCoE) on Landslide Risk, of the International Programme on Landslides (IPL, http://iplhq.org ). The report is organised as follows. After a brief description of CNR IRPI (“The Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection”), we present recent developments related to landslide early warning systems (“Landslide early warning systems”), climate change and landslides interactions (“Landslides in a changing climate”), and landslide risk assessment, mitigation and dissemination efforts (“Landslide risk assessment, mitigation and dissemination efforts”). We conclude listing relevant papers published between 2017 and 2018 by CNR IRPI scientists (“References”).
