Description
Summary:According to the variety and the intensity of dangerous natural processes occurence, the Greater Caucasus can serve as a natural laboratory, where geodynamic processes of a different order proceed continuously. One of the most destructive natural processes are the landslides. A reference object in this regard is the Luar landslide, which has included all the extreme features of landslide structures known in the Central Caucasus, but has not revealed the secrets of its static state, the determination of which is the most important task of the scientific research. An active landslide formed as a result of anthropogenic activity (slope cutting ) is also considered. The mentioned objects were examined by the geodetic and geophysical methods. Appropriate monitoring systems have been created.
