abstract = {In this study, we suggest a temperature-based assessment and mitigation approach for deep-seated landslides that allows to forecast the behavior of the slide and assess its stability. The suggested approach is validated through combined field monitoring and experimental testing of the El Forn landslide (Andorra), whose shear band material is Silurian shales. Thermal and rate controlled triaxial tests have shown that this material is thermal- and rate-sensitive, and in combination with the field data, they validate the theoretical assumption that by measuring the basal temperature of an active landslide, we can quantify and reduce the uncertainty of the model’s parameters, and adequately monitor and forecast the response of the selected deep-seated landslide. The data and results of this letter show that the presented model can give threshold values that can be used as an early-warning assessment and mitigation tool.},
