This session focuses on the role of hydrological processes on slopes for improving landslide hazard assessment and early warning. It addresses the analysis of hydrological processes at both local and large scales, combining field monitoring studies using novel measurement techniques with advanced and data-driven modeling approaches.
Water circulation within a catchment in both shallow and deep hydrological systems represents the most common factor controlling and triggering slope movements. Nevertheless, the integration of hydrological knowledge into landslide occurrence analysis, such as water storage, water-rock interactions, soil-bedrock exchange, preferential flows, and frost conditions, is still limited. Similarly, the incorporation of hydrological information into rainfall threshold development is still not fully developed or widely adopted. Researchers from all fields are warmly invited
to submit contributions ranging from field monitoring, modelling and novel data-driven approaches to advance the knowledge of processes leading to landslide occurrence.
