Abstract

As a result of extreme precipitation in July 1997, hundreds of landslides have developed on flysch slopes of the Carpathian mountain system in eastern part of the Czech Republic, endangering large inhabitated areas. In this situation, quick and cost-effective system for slope deformations investigation and monitoring was necessary. A geophysical prospecting system based on extensive use of GPR has been adjusted for landslides investigation, with scanning performed on longitudinal and transverse lines, completed with a limited volume of other geophysical methods: dipole electromagnetic profiling, shallow refraction seismics and vertical electrical soundings and with only very limited drilling works required for verification. After it, all information necessary for designing of slope stabilization measures was obtained. This way, it allowed to start area remediation in a short time and to limit increase of damage due to time delay.
