Improving the prediction of extreme events with new-generation CRNS probes
Soil moisture is a key parameter in determining environmental risks like debris flows, mudslides, floodings, drought and wildfires. The ability to measure the accumulation of water in slopes, coupled with a knowledge of the geo-morphological characteristics of the site and with meteorological forecasting, is crucial to be able to provide site-specific early-warning systems to signal when the reduction of cohesion and friction may trigger landslides.
