Some of the papers presented at the symposium were published on:
Environmental geology. Volume 35:2-3, August 1998.
Rainfall induced landslides are among the most destructive
natural phenomena. They claim live and cause extensive economic damages
world-wide. Severe rainfall events have repeatedly proved capable to trigger
widespread land sliding in a variety of physiographic environments. During
rainfall events run-off and infiltration processes largely condition the
behaviour of the slopes that make up a catchment basin, and control both
the initiation of failures and the occurrence of sustained water levels
within the drainage network. The goal of the symposium is to focus on innovative
research activities aimed at understanding the hydrological conditions
prone to the initiation of failures and reactivations; the definition of
the frequency and magnitude of such catastrophic events; and the identification
of regional alarm thresholds. Emphasis will also be given to the collection,
management and analysis of pertinent data, at different scales, as well
as to relevant case studies.
Goals
of the open forum
The forum is intended to stimulate an open discussion
on the subject of the symposium as well as on any other closely related
subject before the date of the symposium. We hope in this way to disseminate
information and to stimulate a discussion that will hopefully contribute
to a better and more fruitfull symposium. Individuals intersted in these
(or related) arguments are strongly invited to contribute to the discussion.
Any comment, idea, suggestion or criticism on the symposium or on any single
contribution presented on these pages should be addressed to the Convener
(F.Guzzetti@irpi.cnr.it). It will be his duty to post all comments
and suggestions.
