Syllabus

Introduction

- classification of mass movements, examples - foto-documentation, slide projection, video - selected geodynamic phenomena with stress to mass movements

Time prognosis of activation or re-activation of mass movements

- causes and conditions favourable for development of mass movements

- factors of mass movements, climatic factor stressed

- methods of evaluation of climatic impact to mass movement activity and their periodicity

- exercise

Space prognosis of activation or re-activation of mass movements

- landslide inventory

- landslide registration, database

- exercise

- landslide mapping

- methods of landslide mapping into different map scale

- examples

- methods of expressing hazard and risk of mass movements into map (susceptibility, hazard, risk), map of landslide susceptibility

- exercise

Monitoring of mass movements

- examples of monitoring methods applied on disturbed slope, field and laboratory tests - briefly

- relation "climate - water saturation of slide slope - slide activity" - instrumentation

- video projection
