TEMPEL

Geoelectrical properties: temporal change as failure indicator
2011
The main goal of the TEMPEL project is to evaluate temporal changes of geoelectrical properties of the subsurface as possible indicator of future failure of high-risk landslides; such additional indicators would be beneficial to any effective early warning system.
Ancona, Italy

The most commonly monitored parameters for landslide early warning systems are pore pressure and displacement. However, recent research has shown that other parameters exist, which might give indications on impending triggering even a longer time before an actual displacement is measureable. The TEMPEL project will improve the technology of geoelectric data acquisition and data inversion for monitoring applications significantly. This work is based on the experience gathered and on the GEOMON4D technology developed at the Geological Survey of Austria and of the expert knowledge of Jung-Ho Kim, South Korean specialist for 4D data inversion. Within the project, long-term monitoring studies, involving recording of geoelectric, displacement and hydrological data with a high sample interval (at least once per hour) on several landslides with different characteristics will be performed to allow a complex correlation of permanently recorded data sets. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation of the practical applicability of the geoelectric technology for long-time landslide monitoring and early warning will be performed.
