Title: Forecast of landslide intensity from remote sensing techniques and numerical modelling

A Post-doc fellowship is available financed by the Initiative of Excellence / University of Strasbourg in order to implement a prototype tool to forecast landslide intensity from the assimilation of remote sensing observations and numerical modelling. The objective is to analyse the statistics of rainfall-controlled landslides (number, size, deformation pattern) for specific regions and triggering events and to develop a hydrological – mechanical model to estimate landslide properties from meteorological forecasts. The post-doc position will require strong expertise in remote sensing techniques (optical, radar), advanced statistics, and numerical modelling.

Please note that the official application deadline is 2018, June 15, so interested applicants should establish contact as soon as possible.

The third scientific and technical RESIF meeting will take place on 10-12 October 2017 at Saint-Jean-de-Monts. SNO-OMIV will be present with several presentations (orals, posters).

The detailed program of JAG 2017 - Journées Aléas Gravitaires - which will take place in Besançon from 23 to 25 October 2017 is available here.

10 Mai 2017: OMIV was contacted several days ago to implement a geodetic and seismological network for operational monitoring of the Pas de l'Ours landslide at Aiguilles. The landslide is currently undergoing a major acceleration phase with displacements from several centimeters to decimeters per day depending on the area. An agreement between state agencies and OMIV (CNRS) is ongoing.

The following photos show different measurement campaingns carried out by the first group that intervened on the ground :

The data collection on the landslides are operated partly as a task of the OMIV Observatory, and partly through research projects of the partners. The situation of data collection is thus diverse per study site, and some data acquired through research projects may be discontinuous or not distributed through the website.
The distributed OMIV data are quality-controlled. Some interruptions of data records may happen because of sensor or telemetry dysfunctionning. Inaccuracies in the sensor data (because of instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site) have been corrected or are indicated in the datasheets. Higher resolution or more complete datasets may be available at some sites and may be acquired by contacting the scientists in charge.
Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the nature of the information before using it for science or for operational decisions that concern personal or public safety.
