RECENT ADVANCES IN MODELING LANDSLIDES AND DEBR...

Landslides and debris flows belong to the most dangerous natural hazards in many parts of the
world. Despite intensive research  these events continue to result in human suffering  property
losses  and environmental degradation every year. Better understanding of the mechanisms and
processes of landslides and debris flows will help make reliable predictions  develop
mitigation strategies and reduce vulnerability of infrastructure.This book presents
contributions to the workshop on Recent Developments in the Analysis  Monitoring and Forecast
of Landslides and Debris Flow  in Vienna  Austria  September 9  2013. The contributions cover a
broad spectrum of topics from material behavior  physical modelling over numerical simulation
to applications and case studies. The workshop is a joint event of three research projects
funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Program: MUMOLADE (Multiscale
modelling of landslides and debris flows  www.mumolade.com)  REVENUES (Numerical Analysis of
Slopes with Vegetations  http:  www.revenues-eu.com) and HYDRODRIL (Integrated Risk Assessment
of Hydrologically-Driven Landslides  www.boku.ac.at igt ).
