Project Runout - Forecasting the collapse and runout of giant, catastrophic landslides

Project RUNOUT. This recently completed European Union funded international study focused on large volume, long runout landslides. The study concentrates on developing a unifying physical model for large-landslide phenomena and designing strategies for optimizing monitoring networks and mitigating landslide risk. Active test sites for field studies were Tessina (Italy), Barranco de Tirajana, Gran Canaria (Spain), and Köfels (Austria). Studies at these sites were supported by new investigations at Vajont (Italy) and Bad Goisern (Austria).
