 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'LAMPRE proposes to execute innovative research and technological developments to increase GMES limited operational capacity to cope with triggered landslide events and their consequences, in Europe and elsewhere. LAMPRE will enhance landslide risk mitigation/preparedness efforts and post-event-landslide recovery and reconstruction activities, in highly vulnerable geographic and geologic regions. The project improves the ability to detect/map landslides, assess/forecast the impact of triggered landslide events on vulnerable elements, and model landscape changes caused by slope failures. These goals are achieved by (i) researching and developing new techniques and products to dynamically integrate satellite/airborne imagery, (ii) designing and using intelligent image processing techniques, (iii) modelling landslide-infrastructure interactions using advanced numerical modelling and ground based thematic information, and (iv) proposing standards for landslide mapping, susceptibility zonation and image processing. Products of LAMPRE, including geo-processing tools, landslide inventory/susceptibility maps, vulnerability/impact assessments, and standards and best practices, will be beneficial to Civil Protection authorities, environmental, agricultural and forestry agencies, organizations managing transportation networks, and Emergency Response and Land Monitoring GMES services. Results of LAMPRE will be relevant to the EU strategy for the prevention, preparedness and response to natural hazards, and the protection of people, property, infrastructures and the environment, to implement the EU Soil Thematic Strategy, and to the design of novel GMES landslide services based on images taken by the ESA Sentinel-2 satellites. To facilitate up take by users and cross boundary cooperation, LAMPRE will test products and services in a range of physiographical and geographical regions, and will use the advice of a specific international stakeholder user group.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Whether triggered by human or natural causes, landslides can have a substantial impact on society, leading to significant social and economic consequences. The resulting damage can lead to crises, such as when transportation networks are disrupted and affect the ability to promptly respond.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The 'Landslide modelling and tools for vulnerability assessment preparedness and recovery management' (http://www.lampre-project.eu/ (LAMPRE)) project continues to work to prevent such crises by creating and instituting successful techniques for assessing landslide vulnerability, mitigating risk/heightening preparedness, and improving post-landslide recovery/response. These techniques include the use of satellite imagery, innovative image processing techniques, advanced numerical modelling, and ground based thematic and environmental information.

During the first period of this project, interviews and questionnaires were conducted to establish realistic user needs. The specific geo-databases for the multiple project test sites were designed and populated and a general format adopted. New techniques for the semi-automatic mapping of landslides have also been developed and tested.

Landslide inventory maps were validated and the data has been acquired for a deterministic model for the simulation of the behaviour of a deep-seated landslide. In terms of prevention, statistical methods of determining landslide susceptibility were reviewed and its software developed. The validation criteria and procedures for such LAMPRE techniques were also determined and some were used at various test sites.

In regards to the dissemination of current and future project results, the LAMPRE project website continues to be updated. Also, the first workshop was organised for the Stakeholder User Group, a group of representatives from the EU and external countries.

LAMPRE products and services aim to transcend political or administrative boundaries and instead provide a method for cohesive measures of prevention and response. Thus, a variety of test sites are being used and a range of participants and feedback welcomed.

The desired end result of LAMPRE is a more refined and technologically advanced approach to landslide prevention. This hopefully will allows civil protection authorities, transportation organisations, and agricultural and forestry agencies to better manage expectations and mitigate risks or potential crises.
