Life and death of slow-moving landslides
In the most destructive and catastrophic landslide events, rocks, soil and fluids can travel at
speeds approaching several tens of metres per second. However, many landslides …

Ambient seismic noise monitoring of a clay landslide: Toward failure prediction
G Mainsant, E Larose, C Brönnimann… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Given that clay‐rich landslides may become mobilized, leading to rapid mass movements
(earthflows and debris flows), they pose critical problems in risk management worldwide …

[HTML][HTML] Use of Sentinel-2 images for the detection of precursory motions before landslide failures
The Sentinel-2 optical satellites provide a global coverage of land surfaces with a 5-day
revisit time at the Equator. We investigate the ability of these freely available optical images …

Seismic characterization of a clay-block rupture in Harmalière landslide, French Western Alps
SUMMARY In late June 2016, the Harmalière clayey landslide (located 30 km south of the
city of Grenoble, French Alps) was dramatically reactivated at the headscarp after a 35-yr …

Multi-method investigation of mass transfer mechanisms in a retrogressive clayey landslide (Harmalière, French Alps)
The mass transfer mechanisms in landslides are complex to monitor because of their
suddenness and spatial coverage. The active clayey Harmalière landslide, located 30 km …
