The book aims to enhance understanding of landslides by focusing on detection, prediction, and monitoring. Recently, the number of significant landslides and the damage they cause has increased globally. Landslides are among the most devastating natural hazards, resulting in widespread damage to habitats on local, regional, and global scales. Experts from around the world have shared their experiences in landslide research and practice, which may help stakeholders mitigate and predict these events. The book comprises chapters on
Dynamics, mechanisms, and processes of landslides.
Mapping and assessment of hazard, vulnerability, and risk associated with landslides.
Geological, geotechnical, hydrological, and geophysical modelling for landslides.
Numerical simulation of slope to analyse their stability.
Monitoring and early warning of landslides.
Application of remote sensing and GIS techniques in monitoring and assessment of landslides.
The book is very much helpful for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to adapt suitable modern techniques for landslide study.
Kripamoy Sarkar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Geology, Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad. He is an accomplished and trained engineering geologist by profession with unique blend of industry and academic experience and has contributed significantly in the field of natural hazard investigations and soft computing applications in landslides. A few noteworthy contributions of Prof. Sarkar include improvements in rock mass characterization systems and application of numerical modelling techniques to solve slope instability problems in the Indian Himalayas. His list of publications includes 85 scientific papers in various national and international journals and conference proceedings of repute. He has also published four edited book chapters that reflect advanced studies on the assessment of the landslide hazards.
Sarada Prasad Pradhan is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India. He obtained his M. Sc. (Applied Geology) and Ph.D. from IIT Bombay, India. Dr. Pradhan's research focus lies in geological and geotechnical investigation with a thrust on rock mechanics and engineering geology in understanding and mitigating landslides.
