“…The establishment of near-surface geometric, material and hydrological models of hill slopes is important for stability assessment of landslide zones and subsequently important for the effective design of control measures for landslide disaster mitigation. Various researchers have investigated landslide areas using borehole explorations (Siddique et al, 2015;Gupta et al, 2016;Khamkar et al, 2018) and geophysical methods (Beres et al, 2002;Grandjean and Leparoux, 2004;Merritt et al, 2014;Uhlemann et al, 2017;Claudio et al, 2018;Crawford et al, 2018;Mita et al, 2018;Pappalardo et al, 2018;Falae et al, 2019a;Whiteley et al, 2019) separately. However, some researchers have also applied a multidisciplinary approach (Merritt et al, 2014; Ausilio and Figure 1 Geological map of the study area indicating the location of the Gadora landslide zone.…”
