BackgroundLandslides are common and widespread in many parts of the world. They canhappen on hilly slopes or mountainous terrain given certain conditions in topography
and material strengths in soil and bedrock for inducing the gravitational slopemovement. Landslides also commonly occur during other major natural hazards, suchas earthquakes, typhoons, heavy rains, volcanic eruptions, and tsunami, thus easily
create a very dangerous situation of multiple hazards happening at the same time.
Landslides have caused extensive infrastructure damage and threatened the human life
through the centuries; densely populated modern societies are particularly vulnerable
to the landside hazard.
The basic processes of triggering and initiation of landslides such as gravity,
strength of material, external forces due to seismic shaking and pore-water pressure
have been investigated for decades. However, research limitations remain forcharacterizing the landside processes due to inadequate amount of field observations
and technological restrictions. But now many previous limitations have beeneffectively eliminated by using newly developed or improved technologies ingeophysical, seismological, geological, remote sensing, geochemical research fields.
These advanced technologies were developed and used in separate disciplines in thepast decade, but are now reaching a point of potential integration and collaboration for
resolving important issues in landslides. The introduction of these key techniques forlandslide studies will be the main theme of this training course.
As one of the most tectonically active regions, Southeast Asian countries
suffered from landslide hazards in the past long history. Build a platform to share anddiscuss the experiences regarding to landslide investigations and hazards evaluation isnecessary. The training course, which is supported by ICoE-Taipei, Landslide
Research teams in National Central University and Academia Sinica (LRT-NCU andLRT-AS), intend to provide a short training course which comprises a series ofcomprehensive lectures, practices and field trip. We hope this training course will
provide fundamental information and knowledge about landslides for futuremitigation of hazards and thus reducing human casualties and property losses forsocieties.

Objectives
The training course invites experts as well as young scientists from Southeast
Asian countries to participate a two-way training course on the aspect of landslide
investigations and landslide hazards mitigation. The participants will be asked topresent the experiences in their countries. Discussions are also planned to facilitate
the communications among the participants. The objective of this course is to enhance
understanding, skills and practical knowledge to new waves of landslide
investigations, landslide analysis, laboratory testing, monitoring, modeling, andlandslide hazard evaluation.

Location
The training course is mainly organized by Integrated Research on Disaster Risk
International Centre of Excellence, Taipei (IRDR ICoE-Taipei), of the Academia
Sinica in Taiwan in partnership with HUMG, and ISC-ROAP. The lecturers are invitedfrom LRT-AS, LRT-NCU, E-DREaM, HUMG, National Chiao Tung University, Soiland Water Conservation Bureau, Taiwan, Central Geological Survey, Taiwan, andDPRI Kyoto University. The training course will be held at Hanoi University of
Mining and Geology, Hanoi, Vietnam. For more information about the location,please visit http://en.humg.edu.vn/ .

Target Audience
Approximately 20-30 young to mid-career candidates from academia,
practitioner, and policy communities from Vietnam are expected. Participants areencouraged to bring specific issues or research ideas about site specific or regionallandslides study.
Training Course Agenda
This training course includes the following topics and each slot contains lectures
and/or discussion, plus one-day field trip to landslide sites in Northern Vietnam.
