Automatic Identification of Alpine Mass Movements by a Combination of Seismic and Infrasound Sensors

Sensors (Basel). 2018 May 22;18(5):1658. doi: 10.3390/s18051658.

Abstract

The automatic detection and identification of alpine mass movements such as debris flows, debris floods, or landslides have been of increasing importance for devising mitigation measures in densely populated and intensively used alpine regions. Since these mass movements emit characteristic seismic and acoustic waves in the low-frequency range (.
