“…In-depth research continued between 2017 and 2019 with implementation of the first detailed geological, geotechnical, and hydrogeological investigations and monitoring. The results confirmed that the Urbas landslide represents a source area for debris flows and poses a direct risk to the settlement of Koroška Bela; therefore, structural mitigation measures are essential to protect the population and infrastructure [25][26][27]31,37,38]. In any case, the monitoring system will have to be maintained and improved to enable observation of landslide dynamics and verify the effectiveness of the possible remediation measures.…”

Detecting the mechanism of landslides and evaluating their dynamics is challenging, especially concerning composite landslides. For this purpose, several investigation and monitoring techniques should be implemented to obtain reliable information on landslide characteristics (e.g., geological and hydrogeological conditions and type of landslide processes), kinematics (displacement rate), and potential triggering mechanisms (e.g., change in groundwater table and precipitation). The Urbas landslide in northwest Slovenia has been studied for decades through geological, geotechnical, geodetic, and remote sensing investigations. However, due to the complexity of the landslide and the short duration of continuous monitoring, no assessment of its dynamics has been made. To meet this need, this study analysed continuous and periodic monitoring of landslide displacements using data from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a wire extensometer, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry, and hydrometeorological sensing (groundwater table, precipitation). The results of this study show that the dynamics of the Urbas landslide differ along the landslide area, depending on local geological and hydrogeological conditions. Consequently, certain parts of the landslide are at different evolutionary states and respond differently to the same external triggers.

“…Recent studies in Slovenia have shown that the frequency and intensity of precipitation events are expected to increase because of climate change [3], so the total and effective amount of rainfall, air temperature, evapotranspiration, and runoff from the Bela stream catchment are expected to increase [37].…”

During the next few decades, changes in rainfall frequency and magnitude are expected to have major impacts on landscape evolution, social, and economic aspects of human society. We focus on seasonal rainfall variations by the end of the twenty-first century to define affected landslide-prone areas, future landslide alerts and the impact of landslides on landscape development in the juncture of the Alpine, Pannonian, and Mediterranean region. A moderate and a worst-case climate scenario from CMIP5 global climate simulations were considered to determine the impact of rainfall on the two most common types of landslides in region, shallow and deep-seated landslides. The observed changes in the occurrence of shallow landslides are significant, especially in the winter months, where we can expect more landslide-prone areas compared to the baseline period. Shallow landslides will have a greater impact on the landscape in spring and summer than deep-seated landslides, especially in vineyards.
