ALPPS 2008 – Alpine Landslide Problems and Projects Switzerland 2008
Bern, Switzerland, August 23 - September 3, 2008
Welcome to the XII International Conference and Field Trip on Landslides (ICFL), the
ALPPS 2008. Founded by members of the Japanese Landslide Society and the International Landslide Research Group, it has always been the intention of the ICFL to provide scientists, engineers and planners concerned with landslides with an environment, where they could discuss and exchange ideas about landslide processes, investigations and monitoring right in the field. After previously holding meetings in Japan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Spain, England, Poland and Norway, the XIIth ICFL, the
ALPPS 2008 was held again in Switzerland. Through a variety of fieldtrips and a symposium, the
ALPPS 2008 used the surrounding Swiss Alps to provide an excellent environment to observe and discuss different slide phenomena.
