“…In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in integrating geophysical monitoring techniques with other technologies to assess the stability of slopes and embankments to mitigate hydrogeological risks [ 1 , 2 ]. Most long-term monitoring systems have been developed using microseismic networks to detect the seismic energy released by unstable slopes [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ] or geoelectrical methods to monitor the hydrogeological conditions of slopes and embankments [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Among different geophysical techniques, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method has a long history in solving a variety of engineering, environmental and hydrogeological problems [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”
