Geophysical techniques for investigating shallow and deep landslides: results in the framework of PREVIEW project (FP6 - UE)

SUMMARY In the framework of the PREVIEW (Prevention Information and Early Warning) project, co-funded by the European Community within the Sixth Framework Programme, shallow rapid slope movements and deepseated slow moving landslides have been investigated by using the integration of advanced technologies in the field of Earth Observation. The activities of Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis (IMAA) of CNR - Italy in the project have been to apply high resolution in-situ geophysical techniques for investigating some landslides located in Italian and Swedish territories. In particular, a shallow rapid slope movement, located in Liguria region (Italy), has been investigated by using electrical resistivity and self-potential maps; two deep-seated slow moving landslides, located respectively in Lombardia region (Italy) and in Sweden, have been studied by using electrical resistivity tomography technique.
