Landslide risk management and mitigation

Landslide risk management and mitigation is a fundamental component of land-use planning and civil protection in a context like Italy, where the relief is young and rapidly evolving. Ongoing climate change makes forecasts more complex and uncertain. At the same time, the need to secure the land is increasingly perceived by society, which demands effective and long-lasting solutions. The availability of new investigation and monitoring methodologies, combined with a growing understanding of the physical processes, allows us to improve the technical tools required to improve our ability to live the territory.

The BiGeA Department's studies are integrated to identify, survey, investigate, and predict the evolution of our landscape and its beautiful forms.
