Abstract
This editorial paper summarizes the contents of the papers included in the Special Issue “Mountain Landslides: Monitoring, Modeling, and Mitigation”. The Special Issue provides an overview of methodological papers, as well as some innovative research carried out in the field and in the lab. Even if most papers adopted an integrated approach, sections representing the three research issues outlined in the title can be drawn: the first deals with monitoring, the second focuses on modeling, and the third is related to mitigation. Regardless of the section, the papers included in this special issue put forward methodological and practical implications that, more than likely, can stimulate further research efforts and support the stakeholders to gain better knowledge of landslide hazards in mountain environments, with an aim to tackle the urgent issue of sustainable development in times of global change that can affect landslide occurrences in mountain chains of the world.
Highlights
Since 2012, the journal Geosciences has promoted 14 published or forthcoming special issues dealing with natural hazards
A geoscientific understanding of slope processes is still crucial for an adequate interpretation of results provided by monitoring and modeling tools, and for their exploitation in the design of structural and non-structural mitigation measures
This special issue has collected 15 relevant papers regarding both innovative methods and/or case studies in which the 3Ms are implemented in a synergic manner and with a central geoscientific perspective for the solution of practical landslide risk management problems in different mountain chains of the world, including in Europe, Asia, and the Americas
Summary
Since 2012, the journal Geosciences has promoted 14 published or forthcoming special issues dealing with natural hazards (in its Natural Hazards or Geophysics sections) In these special issues, together with other natural phenomena, more than 50 papers are related to slope instability processes. A geoscientific understanding of slope processes is still crucial for an adequate interpretation of results provided by monitoring and modeling tools, and for their exploitation in the design of structural (i.e., engineering works) and non-structural (i.e., land-use planning and early warning) mitigation measures This special issue has collected 15 relevant papers regarding both innovative methods and/or case studies in which the 3Ms are implemented in a synergic manner and with a central geoscientific perspective for the solution of practical landslide risk management problems in different mountain chains of the world, including in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
