Der Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Geologie der Universität Karlsruhe (AGK) arbeitete in Kooperation mit der INATURA Dornbirn und der Vorarlberger Landesregierung am Projekt Georisikokarte Vorarlberg. Es wurde eine Methodik vorgeschlagen, um die Gefährdung für Hangrutschungen und Felsstürze regional auszuweisen. Die so erstellten Karten sind ein Instrument für die regionale Siedlungs- und Raumplanung und sollen nicht nur Ingenieuren und Raumplanern, sondern auch lokalen Behörden und der ansässigen Bevölkerung einen Einblick in die Naturgefahren geben.

This book explores a platform for insightful discussions and scientific discourse on various aspects of landslides and their risk management, with insights focused on the Himalayan states at a sub-regional level. A fundamental reference is thus provided for further research not only in landslides but also in associated natural hazards. The book is divided into four major parts, starting from conceptual models in approaching landslide risk, followed by evaluation of risk, management of landslide risk, end-to-end solutions for landslide risk assessment, and a synopsis. Included are topics such as the nature of landslide hazard impact, scale dependency in landslide hazard and risk analysis, and systematic procedures of landslide hazard mapping for risk assessment using spatial prediction models. The book also covers such important aspects as the response of the insurance industry to landslide risk and the role of administrative bodies in landslide risk assessment and sustainable management. Readers gain ample knowledge through case studies regarding the types of landslides in the Himalayan region, which will help them in their future research hypotheses.

Landslides are the most costly geo-hazard in the world, and they're often the cause or the result of other hazards and disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions. Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters makes a close and detailed examination of major mass movements and provides measures for more thorough and accurate monitoring, prediction, preparedness, and prevention. It takes a geoscientific approach to the topic while also discussing the impacts human-induced causes such as deforestation, blasting, and building construction-underscoring the multi-disciplina
