The call-for-abstracts of 7th World Landslide Forum is approaching the deadline on 30 April 2026. WLF7 will be held in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Faridabad, 23 – 27 Nov 2026.
Don’t miss the chance to submit an abstract to the Session 2.3: LANDSLIDE EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS: INNOVATIONS AND APPLICATIONS
This session aims to discuss recent innovations to overcome current deficits in the successful operation of LEWS. Innovations may include new techniques for landslide detection and monitoring, novel approaches and data for landslide modeling and (spatial and temporal) prediction, and enhanced technologies for ingesting and disseminating landslide information. This session addresses LEWS at all scales and stages of maturity: test cases describing operational application of consolidated approaches are welcome, as well as works dealing with promising recent scientific and technical innovations, even if still at an experimental stage. The session will also welcome contributions highlighting how operators deal with the implementation of new methods: a particular focus will be on the integration of innovations into established workflows and on the exploration of the trade-off between reliability and technical advancement. In addition, the session will cover all the LEWS aspects closely connected with social sciences, including communication strategies and the social perception of warnings and uncertainties. Ultimately, we would like to stimulate a discussion between developers of innovations and those who are in charge of making the best possible use of them.
