Abstract

Monitoring is important for assessing the stability of the ground and for confirming the validity of the design during the construction and operation of structures. The ideal monitoring system for projects in Rock and Geotechnical Engineering would be able to monitor the behavior of small to extensive areas continuously and automatically with high accuracy. In addition, the costs would be low and the system would be easy to handle. Satellite technology has the potential to realize the above monitoring system by combining it with conventional geotechnical instruments. In this paper, satellite technology for displacement monitoring, i.e., GPS and SAR, is firstly outlined and then the concept of spatiotemporal continuous displacement monitoring is introduced. The use of both satellite technology and geotechnical instruments is effective for geotechnical monitoring. Practical applications of GPS for landslide monitoring and collaborative researches using DInSAR with Balkan countries are described.

In the case of DInSAR, the interval of the measurements depends on the satellite regression cycle. It is usually several days or a few weeks or more. Although there may be a limitation in the measurement interval for extensive areas at present, temporally continuous monitoring can be done. Therefore, spatio-temporal continuous displacement monitoring can be realized by combining the two types of satellite technology with geotechnical instruments.

The GPS displacement monitoring system (see Figure 1) was applied to monitor the displacements of an unstable steep slope along a road. Since local slope failures have occurred several times over the last 20 years, displacement monitoring has been conducted by borehole inclinometers and surface extensometers. Some of the instruments, however, have occasionally not worked well due to large displacements, and it has been difficult to perform the monitoring continuously. In order to overcome such trouble, the GPS monitoring system has been employed for continuous monitoring (Furuyama et al. 2014; Kien 2019). Figure 5 Monitoring site and slope beside road

Monitoring results Three-dimensional displacements were continuously measured every hour. The monitoring results at G-1 are shown in Figure 6 along with the hourly amount of rainfall. Small displacements of less than 2-3 mm/month were generated at G-1 during the low rainfall period from March to early June. Whenever heavy rain fell from July to October, the displacement gradually increased.

Figure 9 Landslide dam and unstable colluvial deposit (Sato et al. 2014) A large-scale slope failure occurred in a mountainous area of Western Japan due to a heavy rainfall brought about by a typhoon. The huge volume of colluvial deposit blocked a river channel and created a landslide dam (see Figure 9). Then, a debris flow occurred due to the erosion of part of the deposit. In order to prevent the collapse of the landslide dam and the occurrence of further debris flows, disaster recovery works were carried out. The GPS monitoring system was applied to monitor the behavior of the unstable colluvial deposit (Sato et al. 2014).

It is found that the landslide movement became slow after March 20 and had almost converged by March 23. Although the total amount of the movement of the toe of the slope reached about 250 m and the landslide crushed several houses, there were no injuries to the residents themselves due to the evacuation advisory issued by referring to the monitoring results.

The official date of termination of the salt deposit exploitation was in May 2007. However, subsidence still continued at a rate of 10-20 cm/year from 2004 to 2007 according to GPS surveys using the static method (Mancini et al. 2009b).

Figure 18 Comparison between DInSAR and GPS results (Parwata et al. 2019) In addition, the DInSAR results show that the “Tuzla” point was very stable. The total amount of LOS displacement was only a few mm for 3.7 years. This result is reasonable, because this is the reference point (fixed point) of the GPS monitoring system.

Figure 20 Vipava River Valley and study area The Vipava River Valley, located in the southwest part of Slovenia, is well known as a landslide-prone area (see Figure 20). There are four remarkable landslides in this area (Bizjak and Zupan¢cié 2009; Jemec Auflié et al. 2017; VerbovSek et al. 2018), namely, Rebrnice, Stogovce, Slano blato, and Selo. The area extends 40 km in length and several km in width. The landslides are characterized by the various volumes and velocities of their movement. The occurrence of debris flows and landslides sometimes causes damage to residences, infrastructures, farmland, etc.

The focus of this investigation was on siltstones, which are the flysch complex component most susceptible to weathering, and therefore their mechanical behaviour has the greatest influence on the behaviour of the overall flysch complex. Numerous instabilities and erosion processes (Figure 2) occur in the study area, and are most often related to the weathering of the flysch rock mass. Intense erosion is observed in flysch deposits in the Istrian peninsula (Gulam 2012) and Vinodol valley areas (Jurak et al. 2005), whereas no significant signs of erosion are present in the Rjecina river valley. Numerous landslides have occurred in the flysch deposits in the Istrian peninsula, Rjecina river valley and Vinodol valley regions (Dugonji¢ Jovanéevié 2013, Arbanas et al. 2014, Vivoda et al. 2012, Bernat et al. 2014). These geomorphological events are significantly influenced by weathering processes in the flysch deposits, especially in their fine grained, siltstone component. Weathering reduces the residual shear strength in these deposits, resulting in landslide reactivation.

Flysch rock mass can have very diverse physical and mechanical properties, depending on its lithological composition and weathering state (Chandler 1969, ReifBmiiller 1997). Incompetent members such as claystones, shales and siltstones are particularly affected by weathering processes. In contrast, sandstones, limestone and _ breccioconglomerates are competent members and are considerably more resistant to the influence of exogenetic forces (Mihljevié and Prelogovi¢ 1992). Figure 3 shows high degradation of a flysch rock mass due to weathering in flysch pillars that were exposed to atmospheric conditions for seven years. These processes gradually transformed the fresh rock mass to residual soils and caused changes in its mineralogical composition and reductions in its strength.

Figure 3 Classification of water types based on multivariate statistics (principal component analysis and clustering). water type is also shown in Figure 2. Both type-A and type-B waters are predominately distributed over the research area and are closely related to the shallow aquifer lithology composed of Sarmatian-Panonian marly strata. Type-A waters are derived Ca and HCO; from marl aquifers. Type-B waters are formed by the mixing of Type-A water with dilute subsurface water from soil zones where so chemical weat uble solids were almost removed during hering processes. Type-C waters are limitedly distributed around the eastern margin of the Kostanjek landslide and Type-D waters gush out from fissures in the d olomite outcrop in the inner part of the tunnel. In particular, Type-D waters are more enriched in Mg and depleted in Sr than type-C waters. It means that the dolomite is area as a later m a major source of Mg in waters from this ention.

Figure 4 Isotopic composition of respective water types. Isotopic compositions of waters range from -6.64 to -10.1%o0 in 6180 and from -46.2 to -70.0%o0 in 62H, respectively. All waters are meteoric water (rain and snow) in origin even if type-D waters are depleted in 6180 and 62H comparing with others (Figure 4). The depleted type-D waters in isotope compositions suggest that these are recharged in the higher area of the northern mountain, western part of Mt. Medvednica, and migrate through dolomite aquifer to the depths of the landslide mass. Type-C waters from shallow aquifers in the landslide also include Mg to some extent even though there is no dolomite layer in the landslide mass. -10.1%0 in 6180 and from -46.2 to -70.0%0 in 62H,

Figure 5 Mg-Ca-Sr systematics for rock samples. Graphical plots of Mg/Ca vs. Sr/Mg ratios of rock samples from soil layer, Sarmatian-Panonian marly strata, Badenian limestone and Triassic dolomite are shown in Figure 5. The relationship between Mg/Ca and Sr/Mg from soil layer and Sarmatian-Panonian marly strata shows a systematic trend which means an array of weathering because Ca and Sr are more soluble than Mg during chemical weathering processes. In contrast, Badenian limestone and Triassic dolomite are extrmely different composition from Soil layer and Sarmatian- Panonian marly strata.

Additionally, a site-specific displacement threshold was imposed on inclinometers data for the activation of Early Warning procedures. In particular, the alert level was based on the overcoming of a daily displacement value of 1mm/d consecutively for a whole week. According to this choice, an alarm message would have been issued to authorities responsible of the monitoring activity if the daily threshold was reached for 7 days in a row.

Figure 2 Local displacement recorded by DToo80 MEMS at the end of the monitoring activity (January 8", 2019). While these data confirmed the critical condition of the retaining wall, the alert threshold was never overcome for 7 days consecutively, hence no alarm message related to these events was issued during the monitoring period. This could depend of the threshold nature, which was focused on a continuous displacement variation, while the event recorded by DToo80 displayed a rapid evolution in the initial phase and continued with several oscillations for the rest of its duration.

The multi-parametric nature of the instrument, together with the high sampling data acquisition, allowed to correlate different physical quantities in order to assess cause-effect relationships. An example can be observed in Fig. 6 representing the water level variation recorded by the piezometer and the local displacement trend at 5 and 10 metres of depth. It is possible to note how the sudden increasing of water level triggered the movements starting from December 2017. The following peaks did not display any further impulsive displacements, a behaviour that could be related to a more stable configuration of the wall due to maintenance works. This representation underlines the importance of an automated tools in the detection of cause-effect relationships and efficacy control of works related to geotechnical field.

Therefore, the fluctuation of groundwater should be considered to better understand the creeping behaviour of a landslide (Bhat et al. 2017). In this study, the groundwater fluctuation is considered for the stability analysis using the various Limit Equilibrium Methods and Finite Element Method, as well as the numerical simulation of the Tomuro landslide.

Figure 16 Various types of landslide mitigation measures Hard measures are classified into two types; namely ylandslide control measures“, and ,landslide restraint measures". Landslide control measures involve modifications of the natural conditions of landslide areas such as topography, groundwater and other conditions that indirectly control the landslide movement. Landslide restraint measures, on the other hand, rely on preventing the landslide movement by directly adding a resisting force to the sliding movement. Individual measures included in both types of mitigation measures are listed in Fig. 16, and examples shown in Figs. 17 to 19.

Figure 1 Schematic diagram showing geological fault zone Until recently, the damage caused to retaining structures, slope bridges and the pavement construction by creep movements in the slope necessitated major rehabilitation at regular intervals. Despite this, the condition of the road section continued to worsen noticeably: the pavement surfacing and lateral retaining walls exhibited substantial cracking. In places, this even led to the detachment of retaining wall facings or the destruction of rock bolts/anchor heads (see Figure 2). Apart from the risks posed by localized problem areas, even the possibility of large-scale landslips could not be completely ruled out.

Less frequently they were applied to the field to measure landslide velocity (Wang et al. 2017, Yang et al. 2017, Awaludin & Agni Dhewa 2018). Combination of different sensors has also already been applied for a similar approach (Benedetti et al. 2017, Carla et al. 2019). The GIMS unit measure ground movements by the three complementary methods: GNSS, InSAR and IMU. Such a multidisciplinary approach promises improved accuracy and verifiability of the data. Application of the open access Copernicus and Galileo systems reduced the cost of the landslide monitoring.

Complex Pleistocene to recent landslides in the area are related to the Mesozoic carbonates thrust over folded and tectonically fractured Tertiary siliciclastic flysch (Fig. 2). Such overthrusting has caused steep slopes and fracturing of the rocks, producing intensely weathered carbonates and large amounts of scree deposits. The combination of geological conditions and periods of intense short or prolonged rainfall (average precipitation is approximately 1,700 mm to 2,500 mm/year on the karstic plateau) has led to the formation of different types of complex landslides. Recently, carbonates have been breaking down in the form of steep fans of carbonate scree in the upper part of the valley, increasing the thickness of these sediment layers over 10 m. In the lower part, superficial deposits range from large-scale, deep- seated rotational and translational slides to shallow andslides, slumps, and sedimentary gravity flows in the form of debris or mudflows reworking the carbonate scree and flysch material. Figure 2 Geological map of the study site (Popit et al. 2016) with marked locations of GIMS units.

It was planned to include three main landslide models and their testing in static and dynamic conditions without and with applied remediation measures. The first model will be the simplest one and the model complexity will rise through the upcoming phases and steps of research. The basic model will use sandy soil because o relatively simple behavior of infiltration process and failure triggering and it will be fast and easy to reach the critical stability state.

Based on two predominating casual factors, lithological units where sliding can be occur and slopes inclination of 5-55°, resulting preliminary landslide susceptibility map of the Republic of Croatia was derived (Fig. 2). The spatial distribution of landslide-prone areas shows that the highest frequency of geomorphological and geological conditions for landslide occurrence is present in the continental part of the Croatia, i.e, in the Pannonian Basin. Given the relative proportion of landslide-prone areas in relation to the area of the county, the largest proportion is in the Krapina-Zagorje County, where 57.8% of the area is susceptible to sliding. Landslide assessment for all Croatian counties is given in (Fig. 2), presented from arger proportions of slide-prone areas to smaller ones. In addition to the relative proportions, the size of the andslide-prone area is relevant for the assessment of the total landslide susceptibility by county.

County. Therefore, climatological analysis of the 20-, 4o- and 100- cumulative day precipitation before landslide activation was conducted based on data from the Sisak meteorological station. The preliminary analysis selected 20-, 40- and 100-day cumulative precipitation as critical, because for those SPI values a certain threshold indicates a potentially damaging landslide occurring. Results of the 20-days cumulative precipitation prior to landslide activation indicates wet weather conditions and for the 40- and 100- days cumulative precipitation a prior activation indicates extremely wet weather conditions. Additionally, cumulative precipitations for 40- and 100- days prior to landslide activation (177.2 and 362.6 mm) represents the second largest measured value for the first half of March since 1961, while the 20- day cumulative precipitation (69.7 mm) is the 5th cumulative precipitation value after the maximum measured in 2016 (107.4 mm). Frequency analysis of triggering the most probable MORLE shows that the 100-day cumulative precipitation prior to the landslide activation on 13 March 2018 can be expected once every 15 years in Zagreb and once every 22 years in VaraZzdin.

The preliminary analysis selected 20-, 40- and 100-day cumulative precipitation as critical, because for those SPI values a certain threshold indicates a potentially damaging landslide occurring. Results of the 20-days cumulative precipitation prior to landslide activation indicates wet weather conditions and for the 40- and 100- days cumulative precipitation a prior activation indicates extremely wet weather conditions. Additionally, cumulative precipitations for 40- and 100- days prior to landslide activation (177.2 and 362.6 mm) represents the second largest measured value for the first half of March since 1961, while the 20- day cumulative precipitation (69.7 mm) is the 5th cumulative precipitation value after the maximum measured in 2016 (107.4 mm). Frequency analysis of triggering the most probable MORLE shows that the 100-day cumulative precipitation prior to the landslide activation on 13 March 2018 can be expected once every 15 years in Zagreb and once every 22 years in VaraZzdin.
prior to landslide activation indicates wet weather conditions (76.8 - 87.1 mm), 4o0- days cumulative precipitation indicates very wet weather conditions (151.3- 152.4 mm) while the 100- days cumulative precipitation extremely wet weather conditions (344.4-365.4 mm). Additionally, cumulative precipitations for 100- days prior to landslide activation represents the largest measured amount on Zagreb-Gri¢ and VaraZzdin meteorological station since 1961. Cumulative precipitations for 40- days prior to landslide activation represents the largest measured value on Zagreb-Grié meteorological station and the second largest measured value on VaraZdin meteorological station, while the 20- day cumulative precipitation is the second largest measured value on Varazdin meteorological station and third on Zagreb-Grié meteorological station. Frequency analysis of triggering the worst possible MORLE shows that the extremely high 100-day cumulative precipitation with wet and very wet 20- and 4o- day cumulative precipitation prior to the landslide activation on 30 March 2013 can be expected once every 98 years in VaraZdin and once every 130 years in Zagreb.

Figure 10 Before (2016) and after the debris flow event (2017) and subsequent maintenance (2018) for the stream San Pedregal (above) and Carrosio (below). The first debris flows after installation happened a year later, in January 2017. Up to then, all barriers have retained debris in variable amounts. On average, their retention level has been around 4’600 m3. Subsequently, in February 2017, Peru was hit by great storms which caused even further, large, debris flow events. The flexible debris flow barriers kept fulfilling their function of retaining debris. The multi-level system was efficient since the barriers further downstream were not completely filled and still offer good retention capacity, for potentia following debris flows. During the debris flow events post supports and cable supports got partially eroded. Hence, maintenance work on these elements was done. Eroded parts were rebuilt with new foundations, brakes and cables were replaced. Further, the barriers need emptying when the material is dry and stable. It can be cleaned with an excavator from behind or in certain conditions, when all safety requirements are met, from the front. Figure 10 illustrates the overall process for the barriers, from installation to filling to maintenance, ready for the next debris flow events. Conclusion

Figure 1 Squeezing-out phenomenon at the Takarazuka Golf Course landslide Added to photo taken by The Sankei Shimbun, referring to Yokoyama et al. 1995 The schematic diagram of landslide structure by Varnes (1978) is well known in the description of landslide movement. Oyagi (2004) examined the components of the moving block and the deformation structure based on this schematic diagram, and pointed out the existence of a quasi-fluctuation area on the ground of the accumulation zone at the toe of landslide mass for some landslides. This suggests that the existence of an expansion (generation) of new slope or/and ground failure phenomenon associated with the loading of landslide mass. One example of such expansion is the landslide at Takarazuka Golf Course that was triggered by the 1995 Southern Hyogo Prefecture Earthquake (Figure 1), and the expansion was thought to be the result of squeezing (or squeezing-out) phenomenon (Yokoyama et al. 1995). A recent example is the slope failures (small andslides shown in Figure 2) in Atsuma Town caused by the 2018 Hokkaido Iburi Eastern Earthquake. To clarify this kind of squeezing phenomenon, we have been performing model flume tests in recent years. In this paper, we present the results of tests conducted on the model consisting of two soil layers with different permeability.

Figure 1 Study area along the coastal area of large Adriatic flysch basin in a few months period. Landslides are thus occurring mostly in the late winter and spring period (from November to May), when the number of rainy days in the three-month period is high and evapotranspiration is low. Due to relatively low permeability of the cover, the infiltration is generally slow and the runout coefficient is high (Perani¢ 2019, Perani¢ et al. 2019). The analyses of the daily, monthly and annual precipitation data have shown that the cumulative precipitation in three months (70-100 days), prior sliding, may have a great influence on water infiltration and groundwater levels rising (Dugonji¢ Jovanéevié and Arbanas 2012, 2017; Dugonji¢ Jovanéevic 2013). Material characteristics relevant for instability occurrence, investigated trough landslide remediation works, scientific research projects, student terrain investigations, doctoral thesis, etc. are presented in this paper. Laboratory testing was mostly performed in the Geotechnical laboratory, at the Civil Engineering Faculty, University of Rijeka. The aim of this research is to define some of the basic geotechnical aspect of materials involved in slope instabilities.

Table 7 Natural slope safety factor values by phases The data in Table 7 indicate an inadequate critical review of the results of the investigative work. Simply obtained results of exploratory works should be reviewed on a natural slope. Too high values of the factor of safety, for a given slope geometry, seem unrealistic without further testing. Likewise, the safety factor values of less than one raise the question of possible slope maintenance at a relative standstill.

Figure 1 General view of the study area A slope in the village Velikyi Pereviz, Poltava region, Ukraine is selected for stability assessment (Fig. 1). The site is located on the left bank of the river Psel with absolute elevation of the earth's surface from 125.0 to 155.0 m. Geomorphologically, the territory belongs to the slope of the Poltava loess plateau (Fig. 2). According to the results of engineering-geological surveys, it is established that loamy deposits of Quaternary formation, represented by loess and loess-like (loam) loam, are involved in the slope structure. The slope from the surface is covered with loose and deluvial deposits with a depth of about 5 m. The groundwater level was recorded only in the middle part of the slope. Groundwater was not detected on the plateau and down the slope (Fig. 3). 9 boreholes were drilled (fig. 3), 24 intact samples were taken. Selected samples for each layer were subjected to 6 The nature of the slip surface is often determined not so much by the stress-strain state of the soil mass, but by the natural conditions and geological structure of the soil mass. The method of wedges or sliding block method [Cheng] with polygonal slip surface was used to evaluate slope stability. It is most commonly used in the following cases:

Figure 5 Scheme for calculating by the Wedge method For a plane problem, these slip surfaces with some approximations can be replaced in the plane of the drawing by one or another number of straight lines - slip lines (Fig. 5). Within the straight lines, blocks of soil are allocated, the weight Q and the angle of inclination a to the horizontal are calculated. The shear force of the block is equal to F = Q - sina, and the resultant holding force is R = Q - cosa - tgp + cst - £, where is £ the block sliding length. The difference between these values will correspond to the shear pressure E. If there is a slope of the filtration flow in the soil, an additional pressure Fy will be acting [Lim et al.].

Figure 6 Distribution of the wedges in studied case The slope safety factor for the case is kst = 1,326. This indicates that the slope is now in a stable condition, and the lowest additional loading, changing of soil properties, additional water saturation of the slope, excavating without a set of anti-landslide measures can lead to loss of slope stability.

Table 3 Comparison of calculation results by different methods By analysis of the data obtained and its comparing with the real slope state, it can be stated that modeling using residual soil strength characteristics, when assigned to deluvial soils, yields a result that is closer to coincides with real slope processes (formation of landslide slumps, cracking, deformation of buildings and structures, "tilted trees", etc.). Other methods give too high value of slope safety factor or inadequate scheme for the slope failure development and inadequate slip surface. The difference between the analytical method and the finite element method gives a safety factor with a deviation of about 7 - 10%.

Displacement profiles obtained from the inclinometers show magnitude, depth, direction and rate of ground movement. Geophysica measurements were performed behind the landslide crown cracks in the nearest vicinity of the geomechanica boreholes. According to the expected lithology and target depths, the Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and Seismic refraction tomography (SRT) profiles in the ENE- WSW direction were selected (Fig. 3).

At the same time, planners and investors often forget or ignore the fact that these sedimentary bodies were formed during extensive torrential and/or mass flow processes in the past. The KoroSka Bela alluvial fan is also just such a case. The sudden movement of large landslide masses and the transformation of the sediment-water mixture into the debris flow could pose serious threat for the settlement. Therefore, the planning of mitigation measures to protect the settlement in the future will pose a significant challenge. For this reason, an active monitoring of the landslide is planned in the future, while effective mitigation measures and_ possible construction works can be based on additional detailed geotechnical studies and stability analyses.

Detailed engineering geological mapping was carried out on the limited parts of the rock slopes at the parts where it was possible to physically access to the slopes. Because of very steep to vertical slopes, mapping and determination of rock mass characteristics was carried out by remote sensing on a high resolution 3DPC (Riquelme et al., 2016). Analysis of high resolution 3DPC enable the main characteristics of rock mass in a slope necessary for further analyses of rockfall source and rockfall mechanism such as discontinuity orientation (Lato and Voge, 2012; Riquelme et al., 2014), discontinuity spacing (Riquelme et al., 2015), discontinuity persistence (Riquelme et al., 2018) as well as rock block volumes (Chen et al., 2017). All these data were combined with engineering geological mapping carried out in the field.

simulation was conducted for each of 8 location of rockfall protection barriers, Additional check was carried out using RockFall software and 2D simulations for critical points identified by 3D simulations. Both 2D and 3D simulations enabled precise defining of rockfall protection barrier positions and their heights and energy absorption capacity. Conducted simulations pointed out on the need for installation of additional rockfall protection barrier at position where rock blocks can leap over a barrier. Position of each barrier pole was precisely determined and defined in high resolution DTM and 3DPC that enabled clear positioning of protection structures in construction stage Figures 4 and 5). Stability analyses for potentially unstable rock blocks identified in the main design were conducted that defined necessary support system for each analyzed rock block and precisely determined and defined elements of support system in high resolution DTM and 3DPC. RocPro3D and RockFall software were employed to conduct the rockfall simulation. RocPro3D is a software that enables 3D simulation of rockfall trajectories, using a probabilistic approach that considers a rock block volume and form, soil properties, irregularities of slope surface and restitution coefficient.

Proceedings of the 4th Regional Symposium on Landslides in the Adriatic - Balkan Region, 2019

Monitoring is important for assessing the stability of the ground and for confirming the validity of the design during the construction and operation of structures. The ideal monitoring system for projects in Rock and Geotechnical Engineering would be able to monitor the behavior of small to extensive areas continuously and automatically with high accuracy. In addition, the costs would be low and the system would be easy to handle. Satellite technology has the potential to realize the above monitoring system by combining it with conventional geotechnical instruments. In this paper, satellite technology for displacement monitoring, i.e., GPS and SAR, is firstly outlined and then the concept of spatiotemporal continuous displacement monitoring is introduced. The use of both satellite technology and geotechnical instruments is effective for geotechnical monitoring. Practical applications of GPS for landslide monitoring and collaborative researches using DInSAR with Balkan countries are described.

Over the last 15 years, an increasing number of applications have aimed to demonstrate the applicability of images captured by space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors in slope instability investigations. InSAR (SAR interferometry) is currently one of the most exploited techniques for the assessment of ground displacements, and it is becoming a consolidated tool for Civil Protection institutions in addressing landslide risk.

Monitoring landslides with geophysical and geodetic observations
Mustafa Zeybek

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2015

The objective of this study was to evaluate and predict land movement by integrating geodetic, geophysical and meteorological data in a landslide area. Specifically, electrical resistivity tomography surveying, Global Navigation Satellite System and terrestrial laser scanning techniques were integrated to monitor a landslide. The study area lies to the southeast of the town of Taşkent in southern Turkey, close to Balcılar in the Central Taurus mountain chain. Landslides result in considerable damage to structures, farmland and the environment in this area; therefore, it is important to characterise the size, extent and timing of past land movements in order to mitigate damage from future landslides. Analysis presented in this paper shows that the greatest land movements in the region occur in spring, when average motions can be up to 1.5 m per month. It is demonstrated that integrated techniques provide a better means for monitoring landslide processes and gathering data for predictions of future movements. Mapping landslide movements by integrating geophysical and geodetic observations can provide a meaningful evaluation of a landslide and its dynamics.
