Dear Colleagues,
EGU26 will be held in Vienna, Austria, and online on 3–8 May 2026.
Don’t miss the chance to submit an abstract to our session, “RECENT ADVANCEMENTS OF LANDSLIDE HYDROLOGY”.
This session focuses on the role of hydrological processes on slopes for improving landslide hazard assessment and early warning. It addresses the analysis of hydrological processes at both local and large scales, combining field monitoring studies using novel measurement techniques with advanced and data-driven modeling approaches.
Researchers from all fields are warmly invited to submit contributions ranging from field monitoring, modelling and novel data-driven approaches to advance the knowledge of processes leading to landslide occurrence.
