Worldwide, cities with mountainous areas struggle an increasing landslide risk as a consequence of global warming and population growth, especially in low-income informal settlements. Landslide Early Warning Systems (LEWS) are effective measure to quickly reduce these risks until long-term mitigation measures can be realized. To date however, LEWS have only rarely been implemented settlements due their high costs complex operation. Based on modern Internet Things (IoT) technologies such...
Abstract The active remote-sensing technique differential radar interferometry (D-InSAR) is a powerful method for detection and deformation monitoring of landslides. But the radar-specific imaging geometry causes specific spatial distortions in images (as e.g. layover shadowing effect), which have negative impact on suitability these D-InSAR applications. To address this issue, we present geographical information system (GIS) procedure to accurately predict areas will occur, before area...
Mainly in the context of global climate change awareness landslide hazards has risen considerably most mountainous regions worldwide last years. National and regional hazard mapping programs were set up many countries potentially endangered sites have been identified. Although exclusive geodetic geotechnical instrumentation is available today, due to some economical reasons only few identified risky landslides are monitored permanently. The intention alpEWAS research project develop test new...
Abstract. Due to climate change and growing urbanization, fatalities from landslides are rising worldwide, thus solutions for people at risk needed. This is especially the case Andean cities which often expanding into steep slopes surrounding them. In Medellín, Colombia, a combination of landslide-prone dunite rock in east city creates high-hazard scenario about 87,000 residents, most whom live informal settlements. We developed landslide early warning system (LEWS) can be applied such...
Abstract. Landslides are socio-natural hazards. In Colombia, for example, these the most frequent The interplay of climate change and mostly informal growth cities in landslide-prone areas increases associated risks. Landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) essential disaster risk reduction, but monitoring component is often based on expensive sensor systems. This study presents a data-driven approach to localize suitable low-cost easy-to-use LEWS instrumentation, as well estimate costs....
Abstract The Inform@Risk project aims to develop a cost‐effective but sufficiently accurate, easy‐to‐maintain early warning system (EWS) for informal settlements on the margins of large cities, adapted tropical climatic conditions in South American mountain regions. This EWS will be implemented outskirts Bello Oriente district Medellín. area is characterized by an elevation around 2,000 m, medium slope inclination 20° 30° and deeply weathered crystalline rocks, which are particularly...
Abstract. The global number of vulnerable citizens in areas landslide risk is expected to increase due the twin forces climate change and growing urbanization. Self-constructed or informal settlements are frequently built hazardous terrain such as on landslide-prone slopes. They characterized by high dynamics growth, simple construction methods strong social exposed unsteady political approaches. Landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) can contribute decreasing their vulnerability, but...
Abstract In context of global climate change and the continuous extension settlement areas in Alps, especially due to tourism, an increasing conflict can be observed between land use natural hazard prevention. This also includes deep‐seated landslides, which cause considerable damage settlements infrastructure when they occur even endanger lives. The potential slow landslides has often been underestimated up till now. For economic reasons, such potentially dangerous instable slopes are only...
<p>Worldwide, cities in mountainous areas struggle with increasing landslide risk as consequence of global warming and population growth, especially low-income informal settlements. For these situations, current monitoring systems are often too expensive difficult to maintain. Therefore, innovative needed order facilitate low-cost early warning (LEWS) which can be applied easily.</p><p>Based on technologies such micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS)...

Abstract For the objective evaluation of structural safety tunnel structures during construction phase, continuous monitoring all important elements (e.g. lining) and face are utmost importance. The temporary top heading invert, frequently used in sensitive areas drives, could not up to now be monitored with measuring equipment, because it is usually covered infill form a haul road. application Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurement system makes possible for first time detect, localise...

Spigelian hernias are spontaneous, lateral, ventral protruding through the fascia, ie, area between musculofascial junction of transverse abdominal muscle laterally and outer edge rectus medially. The diagnosis is often overlooked because frequent lack definitive physical findings, but must be considered in any case lower, pain or tumor mass.
Water-level declines of as much 160 feet have occurred in the Cuyama Valley since 1947.The 1947-66 overdraft excess natural recharge is estimated at 21,000 acre-feet annually and causing a water-level decline from 2 to 8 per year over an area about 35,000 acres.For period pumpage totaled 1 million acre-feet, ground-water storage depletion was more than 400,000 acre-feet.Most body unconfined, but movement restricted by faults.About half 1966 used valley; other lost evapotranspiration, even...
