“…Geodetic techniques can provide 2D and even 3D spatial information in point or surface form. Remote sensing satellite imagery (Metternicht et al, ; Martha et al, ; Lodhi, ; Debella‐Gilo and Kääb, ), Global Positioning Systems (Malet et al, ; Mora et al, ), total stations (Petley et al, ), ground‐based SAR interferometry (Tarchi et al, ), terrestrial laser scanning (Travelletti et al, ; Pesci et al, ), airborne laser scanning (Bell et al, ), unmanned aerial vehicles (Niethammer et al, ), airborne photogrammetry (Chadwick et al, ; Baldi et al, ; Dewitte et al, ) and high speed digital cameras (Dewez et al, ) have been utilised for the pre‐ and post‐analysis of landslide events, risk assessment and long‐term monitoring tasks.…”
