Description and objectives

In recent years, the study of landslide susceptibility has become a crucial aspect in defining the risk to infrastructures and ensuring the safety of human lives. To produce reliable and consistent susceptibility maps that accurately reflect real territorial conditions, it is essential to start from robust input data and perform a thorough validation of the results.

In this context, the project aims to integrate various surveying and analytical techniques to develop reliable susceptibility maps, even within the framework of current climate change scenarios.

A study area will be selected among those of interest to the project, including Proof of Concept (POC) sites, where the proposed methodology will be tested. Conventional field surveys will be conducted to improve knowledge of the area’s geology and geomorphology, alongside remote sensing surveys (using drones) and geophysical investigations. These activities will enhance both the quality of input data for subsequent geo-spatial analyses and the understanding of potential triggering and evolution mechanisms of landslide phenomena.

Finally, virtual reality models will be developed to improve the visualization, interpretation, and sharing of the susceptibility maps.
