Abstract
There had been a significant progress in the past few years on the advancement in technology, analyses methods, and simulation techniques for landslide hazard mitigation. This volume includes a few of such advancements. The entire volume include 124 papers that have been accepted through the extensive peer review process. The entire volume is included into four subthemes and the fourth theme is also subdivided into two parts. This volume includes the papers pertinent to research and studies from all over the world on advancement regarding the techniques pertinent to landslide field recognition, field and laboratory based landslide investigation techniques, numerical and physical modeling methods, landslide hazard and risk assessment as well as prediction techniques. Description of individual subtopic are presented prior to the presentation of each session.
