Landslide Hazard Assessment

This lecture covers the assessment of landslide hazards, including empirical approaches, deterministic modeling, and advanced modeling. It discusses data collection, danger characterization, potential instability, consequence analysis, and hazard scenarios. The empirical approach for hazard assessment in Central and Southern Europe is explained, along with the deterministic model of the infinite slope. Advanced modeling techniques for hazard analysis are also explored, emphasizing the need for high-quality data and complex physics knowledge. The main points highlight the use of empirical and physically-based models for landslide hazard assessment and mitigation strategies.
