Preface
This book entitled ‘Modern Technologies for Landslide Monitoring and Prediction’ was initially motivated by the need for collecting some papers presented during the ‘Bilateral Workshop Italy–China on Technologies for Landslide Assessment and Prediction,’ organized at Tongji University in Shanghai on 18 September 2013. In a following stage, other authors who could not attend the workshop but were carrying on relevant research in the field were invited to send their contributions. The result is a panorama on different techniques which may give support to the investigations on slope failures, focusing in particular on monitoring and prediction. The editor wishes that this book will be useful to scientists, students, operators and officers of bodies and institutions dealing with geohazard management, politicians’ as well as any other stakeholders involved, to understand the relevance of technology when coping with landslides at different levels. Without technology, such complex geo-processes cannot be thoroughly investigated and effective strategies for risk
