landslide monitoring

Landslide monitoring involves using various tools and techniques to observe and assess the stability of slopes at risk of collapsing. This includes installing sensors to detect ground movement, measuring changes in terrain elevation with lasers or drones, and analyzing how water flows through the soil. The goal is to identify early signs of movement or instability, enabling authorities to take preventive measures before a landslide occurs. Effective monitoring helps protect communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems by providing critical data to inform safety decisions and emergency responses.
