The Ganderberg Landslide (South Tyrol, Italy): Mitigation of Residual Risk by Real-Time Monitoring

Assessment of the landslide dams in Western Austria, Bavaria and Northern Italy (part of the Eastern Alps): Data inventory development and application of geomorphic indices

“…Costa and Schuster (1991) archived 13 Austrian landslide dams in a worldwide inventory of historical landslide dams however, the presented information mostly included the locality of the dams and the type of the landslide. In the past twenty years, many studies have been conducted and characterized the landslide dams in Western Austria, Northern Italy, and Bavaria (Felber, 1987;Poschinger and Thom, 1995;Ivy-Ochs et al, 1998;Jerz, 1999;Schrott et al, 2003;Uhlir and Schramm, 2003;Morche et al, 2006;Prager et al, 2006;Reuther et al, 2006;Ostermann et al, 2007;Prager et al, 2008;Cotza, 2009;Gruber et al, 2009;Prager et al, 2009a;Prager et al, 2009b;Panizza et al, 2011;Ostermann et al, 2012;Patzelt, 2012;Starnberger et al, 2013;Stefani et al, 2013;Dufresne et al, 2016;Ostermann and Prager, 2016;Dufresne et al, 2018;Knapp et al, 2020;Ostermann et al, 2020;Reitner et al, 2020;Zangerl et al, 2020). Although, a comprehensive database that encompasses detailed information on the geomorphological and geometrical characteristics of these landslide dams is lacking in the literature.…”
