SAVE THE DATE for the online PROSLIDE event!
During the webinar, the results of the PROSLIDE project (Exploring new opportunities for the PRediction Of shallow landSLIDEs) are presented. PROSLIDE focuses on shallow landslide prediction using novel data-driven and physically-based approaches in the province of South Tyrol, Italy. The webinar consists of presentations (see agenda in the flyer) giving an overview of the methodical approaches and results, along with time for questions and discussion.
For more information on the project, visit the PROSLIDE blog
No registration is needed
PROSLIDE is financed by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and led by Eurac Research and the University of Innsbruck, which are supported by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, the University of Twente, CNR, IGF-ÖAW, and the University of Padova.

The Research Topic “Advances and applications in modeling, assessment, and mitigation of landslide disasters” under Geohazards and Georisks, specialty section of Frontiers in Earth Science (3.661 Impact Factor 3.2 CiteScore) is now open for manuscripts submission!
Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 June 2023 Manuscript Submission Deadline: 15 October 2023
• Structural and geomorphological features of landslides at various scales • Indoor laboratory physical modeling of landslides • Theoretical analysis on the formation mechanism of landslides • Risk and stability assessment method for landslides • Applications of advanced earth observation technologies in landslides • Numerical simulation of landslides subjected to rainfall and earthquake • In-depth controlling factor analysis of landslides • Time-series analysis of sensor data for landslides monitoring
As we did in 2022, we would like to take advantage of the fact that some LandAware members will be in Vienna at #EGU23 at the end of April… to get together for one evening, to meet and talk in person.
We chose Thursday, April 27, 2023, because that’s the day many sessions on landslides prediction and early warning (particularly NH3.7 Towards innovative Landslide monitoring, modelling, and Early Warning Systems) are scheduled, thus we are assuming that if you will attend EGU23 , you will most likely be in Vienna on that evening.
The get-together will be an informal dinner with good Austrian beer, self-funded by the participants (unfortunately LandAware doesn’t have any funding to manage), in a restaurant/brewery: Salm Brau (webpage). We suggest we meet there at 7:30 PM.
If you are in Vienna on that day, and you like the idea, we ask you to FILL THIS FORM (https://forms.gle/Yja3b4Xwu1j7T3wG7), as we need to know in advance the number of people participating (a reservation is necessary in that place).

On February 3, 2023, a meeting of LandAware WG 5 “Innovations” addressed the role of wind speed and direction for landslide occurrence in Hurricane prone regions.
Guest speaker, Yuri Gorokhovich (Lehman College, City University of New York) illustrated how we are getting closer to predicting landslides in Hurricane prone regions in real-time using wind information.
