Understanding when landslides occur and how they evolve is fundamental to grasp the dynamics of the landscapes and anticipate the dangers they can offer up. However, knowledge on the timing of the landslides remains overlooked in large parts of the world. This is particularly the case in low-capacity regions, where infrastructures are weak or absent and data scarcity is the norm. The tropics stand out as such regions, despite being affected by high and increasing landslide impacts. There, persistent cloud cover, rapid natural vegetation regeneration, cultivation practices and high weathering rates further challenge the harvest of timing information. Based on a synthesis of our recent work, we present new findings on the characterisation of the timing of the landslides in the North Tanganyika-Kivu Rift region, a tropical environment with very low capacity and high population density. Our aim is also to highlight the methodological approaches and research strategies that we adopt to investigate such slope processes in a large region lacking baseline studies. From an inventory of more than 9000 landslides with various timing accuracy (from daily to thousands of years), we identify causes and triggers of the slope instabilities in a context of important human-induced landscape changes. This is achieved through a holistic approach that combines field work, satellite remote sensing, historical photograph processing and geomorphic marker understanding. The role of the needs of the local stakeholders in the setting up of the research strategy is also highlighted, and research perspectives are discussed.

在数据稀缺的情况下限制滑坡时间:北坦噶尼喀-基伍裂谷地区热带环境中从最近到非常古老的过程

了解山体滑坡何时发生以及它们如何演变是掌握景观动态和预测它们可能带来的危险的基础。然而,在世界大部分地区,关于滑坡时间的知识仍然被忽视。在低容量地区尤其如此,那里的基础设施薄弱或缺乏,数据稀缺是常态。尽管受到高度和不断增加的山体滑坡影响,热带地区仍是此类地区的佼佼者。在那里,持续的云层覆盖、快速的自然植被更新、栽培实践和高风化率进一步挑战了时间信息的收集。基于我们最近工作的综合,我们提出了关于北坦噶尼喀-基伍裂谷地区滑坡时间特征的新发现,热带环境,容量非常低,人口密度很高。我们的目标还在于强调我们在缺乏基线研究的大区域中调查此类坡度过程所采用的方法论方法和研究策略。从具有各种时间精度(从每天到数千年)的 9000 多个滑坡的清单中,我们确定了在重要的人为景观变化的背景下斜坡不稳定性的原因和触发因素。这是通过结合实地工作、卫星遥感、历史照片处理和地貌标记理解的整体方法来实现的。还强调了当地利益相关者的需求在制定研究战略中的作用,并讨论了研究观点。我们的目标还在于强调我们在缺乏基线研究的大区域中调查此类坡度过程所采用的方法论方法和研究策略。从具有各种时间精度(从每天到数千年)的 9000 多个滑坡的清单中,我们确定了在重要的人为景观变化的背景下斜坡不稳定性的原因和触发因素。这是通过结合实地工作、卫星遥感、历史照片处理和地貌标记理解的整体方法来实现的。还强调了当地利益相关者的需求在制定研究战略中的作用,并讨论了研究观点。我们的目标还在于强调我们在缺乏基线研究的大区域中调查此类坡度过程所采用的方法论方法和研究策略。从具有各种时间精度(从每天到数千年)的 9000 多个滑坡的清单中,我们确定了在重要的人为景观变化的背景下斜坡不稳定性的原因和触发因素。这是通过结合实地工作、卫星遥感、历史照片处理和地貌标记理解的整体方法来实现的。还强调了当地利益相关者的需求在制定研究战略中的作用,并讨论了研究观点。
