This book contains peer-reviewed papers from the Second World Landslide Forum, organised by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), that took place in September 2011. The entire material from the conference has been split into seven volumes, this one is the fifth: 1. Landslide Inventory and Susceptibility and Hazard Zoning, 2. Early Warning, Instrumentation and Monitoring, 3. Spatial Analysis and Modelling, 4. Global Environmental Change, 5. Complex Environment, 6. Risk Assessment, Management and Mitigation, 7. Social and Economic Impact and Policies.
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of applied geology, which is a critical theme for the global economy. In the international, multidisciplinary approach to major engineering projects (either to macro- or mega-scale), the application of geological investigation techniques is fundamental for properly selecting the location sites, planning the construction and maintaining the infrastructures. The contributions in this book include not only engineering constructions but also case studies related to large projects on geo-resources exploration and extraction (minerals, petroleum and groundwater), energy production (hydropower, geothermal, nuclear and oth...
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes and deals with river basins, which are the focus of many hydraulic engineering and hydrogeological studies worldwide. Such studies examine river systems as both a resource of the fluvial environment, and also explore river-related hazards and risks. The contributions of researchers from different disciplines focus on: surface-groundwater exchanges, stream flow, stream erosion, river morphology and management, sediment transport regimes, debris flows, evaluation of water resources, dam operation and hydropower generation, flood risks and flood control, stream pollution and water quality management. The contributions include case studies for ...
50 anni sono trascorsi dalla tragica frana del Vajont. l'International Conference di Padova è stata organizzata sia per dibattere sui temi scientifici relativi alla meccanica, la dinamica e la valutazione di eventi simili a quello del 9 ottobre 1963; sia per ragionare sull'impatto che questo evento ha avuto sullo sviluppo della conoscenza scientifica e sugli effetti che ha prodotto a livello sociale.

Il volume affronta le ipotesi di responsabilità penale che possono coinvolgere diverse figure di professionista: dall’avvocato al commercialista, dal notaio al revisore, dall’advisor finanziario al curatore, dal componente del collegio sindacale all’esperto di sicurezza sul lavoro, dal professionista “tecnico” all’attestatore, dal membro di Organismi di Vigilanza al DPO, dal consulente tecnico all’amministratore giudiziario, dall’investigatore privato all’amministratore di condominio. Gli ultimi anni, infatti, hanno visto crescere gli ambiti di intervento del professionista in ambito legale e, con essi, il rischio di un suo coinvolgimento in attività potenzialmente rileva...
Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to "Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard” and in a “Young Session” complete the books. Landslides and Engineered Slo...
