Observation of the rock slope thermal regime, coupled with crackmeter stability monitoring: initial results from three different sites in Czechia (central Europe)
This paper is dedicated to description of universal, easy-to-modify, and affordable rock slope monitoring system. Using such a system, we are able to monitor environmental variables, the rock mass 3 m subsurface zone temperature profile, and spatiotemporal joint dynamics. We observe differences between three monitored sites. To further data analyses, longer time series are needed. The data will be further used for trend analyses and thermomechanical modelling.

 Three instrumented rock slope sites. On each photo, the monitored rock blocks are indicated with dashed lines of a different colour.
The placement of the compound borehole temperature probe and weather station is also indicated.
Novel Approaches in Landslide Monitoring and Data Analysis” Special Issue: Trends and Challenges
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together recent studies related in particular to landslide monitoring and data analysis. In engineering geology, geotechnical engineering and geomorphology, landslide monitoring using standard techniques is quite common. However, the rapid development of both hardware and software solutions, including miniaturization or remote sensing techniques, brings new possibilities for increasing monitoring accuracy, real-time or near-real-time data analysis and early warning.
