Abstract
  • This special issue contains some of the contributions presented at the open session titled \"Monitoring, modelling and mapping of mass movements\" that was held during the 26th General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society in Nice, France, from March 25 to March 30, 2001. It follows two previous special issues devoted to the same open session held during the 24th and 25th General Assembly in 1999 and 2000 respectively. Each of the three research fields mentioned in the title of the open session, that is monitoring, modelling and mapping, needs improvement and depends, to achieve them, on improvements in the other two fields. Performances of the existing monitoring devices need to be improved and the types of these devices increased to be able to monitor all the different existing type of mass movements and to carry out measurements in all the different field conditions in which mass movements may occur. Measurement procedures, both for real-time and post-event data collection, also need improvement, standardization and validation to provide uniform sets of data that can be used for model calibration, hazard mapping purposes and correct choice of designing criteria for mitigating measures. Finally, improving measurement and documentation procedures should provide knowledge and ideas for new and better models and these latter would then allow to better focus what to measure, observe and map in the field. It must be noticed that a systematic collection of field data on mass movements, gathered in a common database, would provide a common testing ground for scientists all over the world. The identification of the best mitigation solutions for different types of situations involving mass movements would result facilitated by a sharing of data. A program of systematic observations on mitigated sites could then be set up and help identifying possible shortcomings, testing the efficiency of the interventions. Guidelines for the mitigation of risk could derive and expert guidance could be offered to State agencies, insurance companies and policy-makers. The symposium offered a chance to scientists working in the three fields of monitoring, modelling and mapping of mass movements to present their recent advancements, discuss each other's needs and set forth future research requirements. Some of the contributions presented at the meeting have been here collected to provide a publication of the advancements obtained by the authors in their respective fields of research. (literal)
