Objetivo To study the regional scale interaction between slope instabilityand erosion inducing factors, such as climate and hydrology onthe one hand, and geomorphology and land use parameters on theother hand. To test and use remote sensing (RS) techniques, toestablish the "intrinsic" slope hazard state, and to determineslope hazard threshold. A side objective is also to create adata bank in GIS, to automatize parameter mapping with the aid ofRS and IET (Image Enhancement Techniques), to test thefeasibility of a large scale monitoring method with the use ofinterferometry in satellite imagery.An integrated research approach to study slope instability anderosion of natural slopes will be carried out. Special emphasiswill be given to the effect of hydrometeorological factors.Two areas of the Mediterranean basin are selected. One inNorth-West Italy, one in Northern Peloponnesus (Greece). The twoareas show rather similar geological setting but differentclimatic characters.Apart from the quite multidisciplinary approach, the studyincludes the analysis of the multi- factorial relationshipsbetween different types of slope instability and erosion relatedparameters at different scales. It is believed that such anapproach will be successful in revealing the relationshipsbetween different parameters and inducing factors. The studywill be based largely on existing data. The new data will comefrom field survey and monitoring, accompanied by satelliteimagery. The latter will allow automatic parameter mapping andensure the link between local and regional scale understanding bymeans of interferometry. The comparison of interferometryresults with field survey will enable not only a betterunderstanding of the relationship between local and regionaleffects, but will also enable the development of a new RSapplication in this sector.Relationships will be studied between: rainfall records and theoccurrence of failure and erosional events; land use, vegetationcover and the occurrence of erosional and tensile features;geomorphology and the occurrence of mass movement bodies; landuse, geomorphology and small scale displacements; hydrologicalfactors, small scale displacements and erosion. Therelationships will be analyzed with uni- and multi-variatestatistics, while ranges of influence will be studied withgeostatistics.The results will allow to use the most representative parametersfor hazard mapping and determine operational planning.
