Complex Geomorphological and Engineering Geological Research of Landslides with Adverse Societal Impacts
Original language description
The Czech World Centre of Excellence (WCoE) on Landslide Risk Reduction 2017–2020 entitled as “Complex geomorphological and engineering geological research of landslides combined with assessment of adverse societal impacts” included research, education and awareness of landslide risks. Originally, the only participants were Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences; however, in the last two years we were joined by another two Czech institutions (Brown Coal Research Institute and Czech Geological Survey), strengthening possible impact of the work performed within the scope of the International Consortium on Landslides. In terms of landslide research, we focussed on various topics, i.e. national landslide susceptibility zonation, paleogeomorphological landslide research, rainfall triggering mechanism, a database of giant landslides, landslide dam analysis, glacial lake outburst floods, merging satellite-based landslide inventory data with on-site geomorphological investigations, and landslide susceptibility modelling. We performed our activities both at home and abroad. During the period starting from 2017, we performed various activities aimed at increasing the awareness of the general public as well as experts involved in landslide risk reduction. Student graduation works was performed in the framework of the WCoE at all levels (Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral). In addition, we contributed to the overall ICL/IPL activities by performing editorial work, reviews and evaluations for the journal Landslides, book publications and IPL projects, as well as the WCoE.
