Monitoring Methods

Admin ::: Jul 14, 2008 ::: 1124 Reads

Testbeds have been initialised to investigate applied processes of risk analyses and risk management methods. Practical guidebooks, recommendation papers and instruction materials apply to transnational strategies and studies.

Analyses in the test-areas were carried out concerning plant species richness and soil conditions under the aspects of natural hazards and nature protection. A summary of the main biotic and abiotic factors was done – mapping of altitudinal zones, exposition, slope angle, aerial mapping and interpretation of orthoimages. Terrestrial habitat mapping was done, assessing potential avalanche areas (tracks), investigation areas for detailed information about biodiversity in avalanches.

Geomorphological maps were realised and risk evaluation was done (particularly the descriptions of: thermometer, snow meter, wind meter, rain gauges, wire extensometer, bar extensimeter, echometer, evaporimeter, flow probe, geophone, infiltrometer, load cells, measuring weir, multi-base extensimeter, orphimedes, solarimeter-albedometer, tiltmeter, turbidimeter, lysimeter).

Regarding landslides, experimental methods adopted are applicable to a wide range of situations in which risk occurs as a consequence of slope instability related to deep seated slope dynamic. By taking into account the specific characteristics of different landslide units linked to the general deep-seated instability, the procedure has been made suitable for complex dynamic situations.

Regarding avalanches, the quality of available data was extremely diverse which impeded comparability and a thorough statistical analysis. The implementation confirmed the importance of avalanche forecasting which has to be based on the collection of detailed and high quality data. In order to enhance the management of avalanche occurrence data, user friendly interface was provided and the daily input encouraged. In addition to that attention was paid not only to avalanche occurrences but also to relevant conditions when avalanches were expected but did not occur. Information also recorded included the avalanche type and the run-out distance. Automatic weather stations are available in a representative location as weather conditions vary on a very small scale.
