LandAware get-together in Florence during WLF6 on Wed, 15 November

Registrations closed – sorry!

We would like to take advantage of the fact that some LandAware members will be in Florence, Italy at WLF6 in November 2023 (particularly for the session 2.12: Landslide Early Warning Systems: Innovation and Applications)… to get together for one evening, to meet and talk in person.

We chose Wednesday, November 15, 2023 to not overlap with the Welcome Reception and the Forum Banquet scheduled by WLF organizers.

The get-together will be a self-funded, informal dinner by the participants (unfortunately LandAware doesn’t have any funding to manage), in a restaurant to be decided. We will communicate it soon.

If you are in Florence on that day, and you like the idea, we ask you to fill this form (https://forms.gle/xtrjctpffixvuMvR6), as we need to know in advance the number of people participating to make a reservation.

Looking forward to seeing you in Florence at WLF6!

Recordings of the presentations on LEWS in Latin America at UNGA78

LandAware members participated to the Virtual Session Experiences of Landslides Early Warning Systems in Latin America: Landaware network / Experiencias de Sistemas de Alerta Temprana ante Deslizamientos en Latinoamérica: red Landaware at the Science Summit at UN General Assembly (UNGA78) Wednesday September 13, 2023.

During the session, chaired by Carolina Garcia Londoño and Graziella Devoli, after an introduction on the LandAware network by Stefano Luigi Gariano, four examples of Landslide Early Warning Systems in Latin America were presented, in Spanish or English language, by Mario Reyes, Ivo Fustos, Felipe Mandarino, and Carolina Garcia Londoño.

The recordings of the presentations can be found on the LandAware YouTube channel.

Mario Reyes – Sistema de Alerta Temprana por deslizamientos en El Salvador [Spanish]
Ivo Fustos – Landslide Early Warning System: the Chilean case [Spanish]
Felipe Mandarino – LHASA Rio: a local LEWS based on NASA’s global landslide hazard assessment model [English]
Carolina Garcia Londoño – Sistemas de Alerta Temprana ante deslizamientos en asentamientos informales: de la academia al gobierno [Spanish]

ITALICA: The ITAlian rainfall-induced LandslIdes CAtalogue

NEWS received from
Silvia Peruccacci (CNR, Italy)

ITALICA, an extensive and accurate spatio-temporal catalogue of rainfall-induced landslides in Italy, is now online!

Over the last 15 years many researchers at CNR IRPI have been involved in compiling a catalogue called ITALICA (ITAlian rainfall-induced LandslIdes CAtalogue), which currently lists 6312 records with accurate information in space and time on rainfall-induced landslides that occurred on Italian territory between January 1996 and December 2021.

ITALICA provides the scientific community with a useful example of how to build accurate spatio-temporal catalogues elsewhere. The high accuracy of the catalogue’s data makes it particularly suitable for the prediction of rainfall-induced landsides (e.g. for defining rainfall thresholds to be implemented in landslide early warning systems).

The data description paper is published in the open source journal Earth System Science Data: https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/15/2863/2023/

The catalogue is freely available at https://zenodo.org/record/8009366

PROSLIDE project webinar

NEWS received from
Stefan Steger and Mateo Moreno Zapata (EURAC, Italy)

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.

When: Thursday, 29th of June 2023

10:00 AM Central European Summer Time (CEST)

Where: Click here to join the meeting

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.

EGU23 LandAware get-together in Vienna on Thursday, 27 April

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).

Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
