Abstract

This paper presents the first findings of current surveys and monitoring of the slope deformation which is located near Třebenice town, on the southeast edge of the České středohoří Mts. The landslide is situated near the border of the České středohoří volcanic complex and sedimentary Bohemian Cretaceous Basin.

Landslide area has a character of the extensive shallow slope deformation in clayey and sediment rocks. This area was several times reactived in the past (last large reactivation was in 80's of the last century).

We observe the partial reactivations in connection with above-average precipitation in May and June 2013. These reactivations are particularly evident on the recent deformation of the road surface in the landslide area.

The road surface and its recent deformation are newly monitored by geodetic methods. The other landslide activity is monitored by long-term control measurement of groundwater level and by extensometric tape for measurement of surface deformation.

This data can be correlated with climate information (especially precipitation) from a nearby permanent meteorological station of IRSM CAS p.r.i.
