End-user focused warning systems
This interdisciplinary project aims at increasing safety standards in landslide-prone areas, by developing an end-user focused and people centred warning system.
On the one side, LAMOND will improve the observation, understanding and prediction of subsurface processes, which lead to the triggering of landslides. This work is grounded on the results of the multi-parametric European landslide monitoring network developed by the project partners. LAMOND will further improve an innovative multi-parameter technology for the long-term observation of triggering events by using the data collected in eight monitoring sites.
One the other side, the project will develop new processes for stakeholder engagement in the design of warning systems. Starting from the knowledge generated through the development of the multi-parameter monitoring technology, LAMOND partners will:
- elicit stakeholders’ perspectives on the technical, institutional, legislative and social aspects that are crucial for the development of a warning system;
- identify an innovative framework for responsibility distribution between science advisors, decision makers and the public;
- provide a range of options based on stakeholders´ perspectives and expert specialized knowledge;
- develop a stakeholder procedure to discuss the options and reach a compromise solution.
The expected outcome is an end user focused warning system and recommendations for municipal emergency planning.
Supported by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OAW) International Research Program, LAMOND is a three year project, started in January 2015.
