Abstract
The results are summarised of the correlation between long-term geotechnical monitoring, geological and geophysical surveys, finite element method modelling and their geomorphological interpretation in the area of North Bohemia affected by coal mining for more than 100 years. An underground mining-induced catastrophic landslide occurred in 1952 and had direct impacts on the local municipality, this still active and complex landslide has been well described since a detailed monitoring network was installed in the 1980s.
Unique deep rock-mass monitoring is based on precise geodetical measurement in an exploration gallery from 1980. Several different types of deep-seated and near-surface landslide processes with different dynamics were identified during four decades of interdisciplinary monitoring, FEM modelling, ERT profiling and numerous other surveys.
Landslide processes are influenced by anthropogenic activities in varying degrees, but climate factors have played the main triggering role in the recent past.
