Figure 5: Location of the landslide observatories and areas of investigation in Lower Austria. (a) Location of the Lower Austria federal state, in north-eastern Austria. Relief shading is based on the Austrian 10 m DEM; (b) Geological map in which the lithological units reported are of major interest for the study area (after Weber, 1997); (c–e) Location of the (c) Hofermühle, (d) Gresten, and (e) Brandstatt observatory, respectively, as well as areas affected by landslide displacements in recent years (Marr et al., 2023). 

 

Six sites were initially involved in the investigations of the NoeSLIDE project (see Figure 4). Some of them are examined at irregular intervals without automatic measuring systems, some of them very intensively with their own power and broadband internet connection. Currently 2 of the 6 sites are still being closely monitored, the others have been completed. The six sites, which are spread across the Waidhofen / Ybbs, Amstetten and Scheibbs districts, are:
