Summary: This study monitored the displacements of the Patigno landslide in the Northern Apennines using archival aerial photogrammetry, continuous GNSS observations, and multi-temporal InSAR data. By integrating data from different methodologies, including photogrammetry, GNSS, and InSAR, the kinematic motion of the landslides was accurately described, leading to more effective landslide risk mitigation strategies.

Summary: Landslides are a common natural disaster in Indonesia, and the existing Indonesia Landslide Early Warning System (ILEWS) developed by Balai Sabo lacks accuracy. This study aimed to improve the system's accuracy by updating the rainfall threshold and evaluated the predictability using ROC analysis. The fourth method showed the best results in predicting landslide events with low error values.

Summary: This study aims at developing a novel method to cover all steps of automatic inclinometer data analysis for monitoring landslide displacements. The methodology includes evaluating instrument reliability, eliminating anomalous measurements, identifying significant acceleration moments, clustering acceleration events, and determining influential factors in deformation patterns. The developed method is reliable in estimating anomalous measures and identifying significant accelerations, helping in understanding displacement trend responses.

Summary: This study successfully reconstructed the three-dimensional geometry of eleven buried thrusts in the Northern Apennines chain and documented the recent 4 million years slip history of four of these thrusts. The findings show that thrust activation proceeds from the inner to the outer position in the chain, revealing an exponential reduction in slip rates over time with a major change around 1.5 million years ago.

Summary: The slip rate is an important parameter for active faults. Traditional methods may lead to inaccurate estimates of the vertical slip rate. In this study, the vertical slip rate at different measuring points along various faults was calculated using joint constraints. The analysis of slip rates and seismic risk assessment showed variations among different fault segments. Additionally, the migration of the depositional center and the influence of the stress field on the slip rate were explored.

Summary: This study examines the performance of a weather forecast model in an early warning system application for the integrity management of oil and gas pipelines. The model's predictions are compared with observations from several weather stations, and the performance in terms of precipitation, temperature, and wind speed is evaluated. Results indicate that the model performs well on temperature and wind speed variables, but is affected by terrain and thermal effects when it comes to precipitation.

Summary: This study aims to analyze and classify the stages of landslide kinematic variation by integrating weather and geotechnical monitoring data of Tan Son market landslides. The results show that landslide kinematics consist of three stages: stabilization, accumulation, and displacement. The displacement of the landslides is a heterogeneous process, with significant increase in velocity when the pore-water pressure ratio (ru) at the sliding surfaces > 0.53, and almost no displacement when ru < 0.45. Early warnings of landslide can be released based on the kinematic stages and changes in inverse velocity.

Summary: This research investigates how the load influences the ultimate compressive strength of rocks at failure. The findings indicate that the ultimate compressive strength of rocks is achieved with minor incremental displacements, while an increase in confining stress leads to higher ultimate tensile strength, deviatoric stresses, and volumetric strain.

Summary: The study combines spatial modeling and regionalization of debris rainfall thresholds to assess and map debris flow initiation hazard in the Emilia-Romagna Apennines, Italy. Different spatial statistical models were trained and compared, resulting in a hazard map that classifies areas into high, medium, low, or null hazard based on spatial and temporal probabilities. This map is considered reliable for integrating existing inventory maps in land-use regulation and emergency planning despite its limitations.

Summary: A multidisciplinary approach was used to define the hydrogeological conceptual model of the complex Fontana Cornia landslide in Italy. The results of seismic refraction tomography and electrical resistivity tomography investigations show the presence of a curvilinear sliding surface and undulations that can store water. The joint interpretation of geophysical outcomes, hydrogeological analyses, and spring measurements allowed the identification of specific hydrologic stages and the development of a hydrogeological model that can explain the landslide displacements detected with In-SAR monitoring.

Summary: Large-scale slow-moving deep-seated landslides are complex and potentially highly damaging phenomena. In this study, multi-temporal airborne optic and LiDAR surveys were used to detect and quantify slope movements. Two DIC algorithms, NCC and PC, were applied to the datasets, and although they struggled to quantify sub-pixel displacement patterns in densely vegetated areas, they successfully differentiated stable and active parts of the slopes, providing valuable information for risk management.
