Seismic monitoring of deep-seated mass-movements

Abstract

Slopes with deep seated mass-movements are frequently observed in high mountain areas and these are commonly investigated with geodetic monitoring and active seismic experiments. However, permanent seismic monitoring is a method which can also be used to obtain additional data and, combined with the methods mentioned above, this can lead to a better understanding of the processes of deep seated massmovements. The aim of such work to gain an insight into the microseismic activity related to the moving masses and the degree of development of the mass-movements.
