Book Series of the International Consortium on Landslides
Progress-LRT was founded by the Launching Declaration of the ICL Open Access Book Series “Progress in Landslide Research and Technology” for the Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020 at the end of High- level panel discussion “Review of KLC2020 and the way forward” during the Fifth World Landslide Forum held at the National Kyoto Conference Center, Kyoto, Japan on 3 November 2021.
Progress in Landslide Research and Technology is the Open Access book series of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL). The series provides a common platform for the publication of recent progress in landslide research and technology for practical applications and the benefit for the society contributing to the Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020, which is expected to continue up to 2030 and even beyond to globally promote the understanding and reduction of landslide disaster risk, as well as to address the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. The contributions include the following seven categories:
