1. Composite landslide in the dynamic alpine conditions: a case study of Urbas landslideEla Šegina, Mateja Jemec Auflič, Matija Zupan, Jernej Jež, Tina Peternel, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The alpine environment is characterized by complex geology, high-energy terrain, deeply incised river valleys with high erosional potential, extreme weather conditions and dynamic geomorphic processes. Such settings provide favourable conditions for the formation of composite landslides rather than individual slope mass movement phenomena. As an example, we present the kinematics of the composite landslide Urbas in the North of Slovenia which developed in the complex geological and morphological settings characteristic of the alpine environment. The research combines several monitoring techniques and involves the integration of both surface and subsurface displacements measured in the landslide area. The results indicate that the composite sliding process consists of several simultaneous and interrelated types of movements occurring in different segments of the unstable mass that are governed by different mechanisms of displacements, such as rockfall, sliding and debris flow. The kinematic characteristics of a deep-seated landslide that formed in such conditions vary spatially, but is rather homogenuous vertically, indicating translational type of movement. Spatial kinematic heterogeneity is primarily related to the diverse terrain topography, reflecting in different displacement trends. Based on the revealed kinematic proprieties of the sliding material, the sediment discharge illustrates the sliding material balance which estimates the volume of the retaining material that represents the potential for slope mass movement events of larger scales.

2. Review of the research and evolution of landslides in the hinterland of Koroška Bela settlement (NW Slovenia)Tina Peternel, Ela Šegina, Jernej Jež, Mateja Jemec Auflič, Mitja Janža, Janko Logar, Matjaž Mikoš, Miloš Bavec, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: This paper gives an overview of landslide research and the activity of landslides located above the Koroška Bela settlement in Northwest Slovenia. There are several landslides in this area and they pose a direct threat to the settlement below. The settlement is very densely populated (about 2,100 inhabitants) and has well-developed industry and infrastructure. It is built on deposits from past debris flows, indicating that large slope mass movements have occurred in the past. In this regard, the hinterland of Koroška Bela has been investigated since 2006, within the framework of various research, technical and European projects. The most extensive geological and geotechnical investigations were carried out after April 2017, when part of the Čikla landslide collapsed and mobilised into a debris flow. All of the investigations which have been carried out over the years revealed that the hinterland of Koroška Bela is characterised by high landslide activity due to geological, hydrogeological and tectonic conditions. In order to protect people and their property, it is essential to implement a holistic mitigation measure which includes remediation works (drainage works, debris flow breaker, etc.) and non-structural measures (monitoring system, early warning system, risk management, etc.). Regular and continuous monitoring of all landslides is also crucial to observe the landslide dynamics and evaluate the effectiveness of structural mitigation measures.

3. Strukturne razmere na stiku Južnih Alp in Dinaridov na zahodnem CerkljanskemJože Čar, Jernej Jež, Blaž Milanič, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Ozemlje med vasmi Reka v dolini Idrijce, Bukovo pod Kojco in Zakriž pri Cerknem pripada v geografskem in geotektonskem pogledu Dinaridom. Gradijo ga kamnine dveh obsežnih narivnih enot Trnovskega pokrova, ki so bile za več deset kilometrov narinjene od severovzhoda proti jugozahodu v današnjo lego. Preko njih so narinjene kamnine Tolminskega pokrova, ki je na obravnavanem ozemlju najnižja narivna enota Južnih Alp. Pokrov sestavljajo dve notranji narivni grudi in vmesna narivna luska. Narivne enote so bile narinjene od severa proti jugu. V zahodnem delu obravnavanega območja stik med Južnimi Alpami in Dinaridi poteka ob Sovodenjskem prelomu.Kljub temu, da so kamnine v obravnavanih narivnih enotah približno enake starosti, lahko prepoznamo dva različna stratigrafska razvoja. Posebej izstopa problematika razvoja ladinijsko-spodnjekarnijskih psevdoziljskih plasti, to je zaporedja klastičnih in karbonatnih kamnin, ki se je odložilo v globljemorskem okolju Slovenskega bazena. Tako v Trnovskem kot tudi v Tolminskem pokrovu najdemo psevdoziljske plasti razvite v podobnem, litološko značilnem zaporedju, a so v Tolminskem pokrovu razvite v precej večji debelini kot v Trnovskem pokrovu in navzgor zvezno prehajajo v amfiklinske plasti, medtem ko je debelina psevdoziljskih plasti v Trnovskem pokrovu precej manjša, v normalnem zaporedju pa na njih leži platformni cordevolski dolomit.

4. Impact of climate change on landslides in Slovenia in the mid-21st centuryMateja Jemec Auflič, Gašper Bokal, Špela Kumelj, Anže Medved, Mojca Dolinar, Jernej Jež, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Slovenia is affected by extreme and intense rainfall that triggers numerous landslides every year, resulting in significant human impact and damage to infrastructure. Previous studies on landslides have shown how rainfall patterns can influence landslide occurrence, while in this paper, we present one of the first study in Slovenia to examine the impact of climate change on landslides in the mid-21st century. To do this, we used the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 climate scenario and future climatology simulated by six climate models that differed from each other as much as possible while representing measured values of past climate variables as closely as possible. Based on baseline period (1981-2010) we showed the number of days with exceedance of rainfall thresholds and the area where landslides may occur more frequently in the projection period (2041-2070). We found that extreme rainfall events are likely to occur more frequent in the future, which may lead to a higher frequency of landslides in some areas.

5. Reconstruction of landslide activity using dendrogeomorphological analysis in the Karavanke mountains in NW SloveniaDomen Oven, Tom Levanič, Jernej Jež, Milan Kobal, 2019, original scientific article Abstract: Tree ring eccentricity was used to reconstruct landslide activity in the last 138 years in the Urbas landslide located at Potoška planina in the NW part of the Karavanke Mountains, Slovenia. The research was based on the dendrochronological sampling of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) in areas of varying landslide intensity. Analysis of a sudden change in the eccentricity index of 82 curved trees concluded that there were 139 growth disturbances and 16 landslide reactivations between 1880 and 2015, with a landslide return period of 8.5 years. Using lidar data, changes in the surface of the digital terrain model (DTM) were compared with changes in the eccentricity index of trees at the same location in the period 2014-2017. On the basis of temporal changes in the eccentricity index and by using spatial interpolation, landslide activity was reconstructed for the period 1943%2015. During this period, landslide intensity increased in the central part of the landslide. Although categorization into seven categories of different stem curvature was proposed, no distinction between categories with respect to their eccentricity index was found.

6. Presoja varovalnega učinka gozda pred drobirskimi tokoviGal Fidej, Matjaž Mikoš, Jernej Jež, Špela Kumelj, Jurij Diaci, 2018, original scientific article Abstract: Varovalni gozdovi imajo pomembno vlogo pri zmanjševanju učinka različnih naravnih nevarnosti. Kljub pove- čevanju potreb po varovalni in zaščitni funkcij zaradi staranja gozdov in povečanega tveganja zaradi naravnih motenj ostaja aktivno upravljanje na nizki ravni. Proučili smo učinkovitost varovalnih gozdov za zaščito pred drobirskimi tokovi na severozahodu Slovenije, v Soteski med Bledom in Bohinjem, kjer sta zaradi delovanja pobočnih premikov ogroženi državna cesta in železnica. Na podlagi geološke karte in karte podvrženosti drobirskim tokovom smo ugotovili vplivno območje drobirskih tokov. Pri modeliranju njihovega širjenja smo uporabili program TopRunDF. Podatke o gozdu smo zbrali na 26 vzorčnih ploskvah, kjer smo izmerili vsa živa drevesa s prsnim premerom več kot 10 cm. Podrobno smo opisali sestoje in jih ovrednotili po metodi NaiS. Ugotovili smo, da ima gozd pomembno vlogo pri zaščiti infrastrukturnih objektov. Za uresničevanje trajnosti zaščitne vloge je treba enomerne sestoje prevzgojiti v mozaično enomerne. V sestojih, kjer gozdnogojitveni ukrepi ne zadostujejo, je treba uporabiti tehnične ukrepe. Ker s sestoji niso gospodarili več desetletij, so motnje (najpogosteje v obliki vetrolomov) pogoste. Izsledki kažejo, da je potrebno objektivno ovrednotenje varovalne in zaščitne funkcije takšnih gozdov. Priporočamo tudi aktivno nego, kar je v nasprotju z dosedanjo prakso v teh gozdovih.
