Landslides are an insidious natural hazard, which can result in significant damage to public infrastructure. Limited monitoring tools are available, particularly tools suitable for use in forested environments. These tools often only allow a few locations across the slide to be monitored. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) shows promise as a...
