Landslides: Seeing the ground

Landslide engineering requires the consideration of a number of complex processes ranging from geological and hydrogeological characterization to geomechanical characterization, analyses and risk manage- ment. This paper concentrates on recent advances that improve site characterization applied to landslide problems. It presents the view that one of the most exciting developments is the growing potential for application of Geo- graphical Information Systems (GIS) and that making GIS goetechnically smart is a transformative development. Examples are given of integrating remote sensing data in GIS to improve visualization, mapping and movement characterization. Application of analysis of rockfall within GIS and complex slope stability evaluation with the aid of GIS are presented to illustrate recent developments and provide direction for future enhancements.
