Landslide Hazard and Risk

Landslide Hazard and Risk brings together a wide range of experience, covering the social, economic and cultural context, management options, and the application of science and technology, for the reduction of risk from landslides. This book is divided into four major parts covering conceptual models in approaching landslide risk, evaluation of risk, management of risk and end-to-end solutions of risk. It examines risk assessment and management from theory to practice, from conventional methodology to future possibilities.

• Provides a range of multidisciplinary approaches and guidance on their appropriate use.
• Presents specifications and contexts for the next generation of process models.
• Focuses on the means and methods of investigation, and the treatment of data to represent the probabilities and uncertainties of hazard and risk.
• Evaluates state-of-the-art techniques and future directions.
