Designing effective landslide monitoring networks, focusing on sensor selection by landslide type, robust telemetry and power solutions for remote terrain, and the development of sophisticated alarm logic and data fusion procedures for reliable alert escalation.  

Landslide monitoring through SBAS/PS-InSAR workflows in tools such as SNAP, SARscape, and StaMPS; multi-source fusion with optical and LiDAR data refines deformation. 

This workshop focuses on the development of digital twins for critical infrastructure, integrating live sensor data and predictive simulations to provide real-time decision support for planners managing landslide-prone areas. 

Rainfall-threshold + ML hybrid models for landslide predictions

Comparing LEM, FEM, and DEM approaches and their computational trade-offs, while utilizing radar and instrumentation data for model calibration and seepage-coupled analysis of rainfall-induced instability. 

Integrating dynamic rainfall thresholds and numerical weather forecasts with susceptibility maps to design district-scale warning protocols and trigger-action-response plans, while focusing on effectively communicating uncertainty to authorities and at-risk communities.

Runout modeling for debris flows and rock avalanches, focusing on the siting and design of flexible barriers, rigid structures, and stabilization meshes as part of comprehensive hybrid engineering solutions. 

covering empirical and physically-based derivation methods, the interaction of hydro-meteorological triggers, and the integration of numerical weather predictions to adapt existing thresholds to climate-driven changes in rainfall patterns.

Examining multi-hazard interactions and cascading risk chains while providing hands-on experience with inventory mapping, susceptibility workflows, and advanced hazard modelling using regional datasets.

covering diverse assessment methods from statistical to machine learning and operational rainfall thresholds, culminating in hands-on applications using Indian and Himalayan datasets.

Focusing on how shifting precipitation extremes, glacier retreat, and permafrost thaw trigger multi-hazard cascades, such as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and landslide-dam interactions. Multi-hazard cascades in mountain environments: triggers, pathways, and downstream impacts

Designing risk communication strategies for diverse audiences, implementing and testing Trigger-Action-Response Plan (TARP) frameworks, and integrating community-based monitoring and indigenous knowledge into formal disaster risk reduction policies.
