The Research Centre on Prediction, Prevention and Control of Georisks, Sapienza Università di Roma (CERI) was selected as one of the World Centres of Excellence on Landslide Risk Reduction (WCoE) under the title of "Research and development of advanced technologies for landslide hazard analysis in Italy" in the period 2008-2011. The present paper provides background information on the activities carried out by the CERI, in the frame of the WCoE network. Pre-defined purposes have been achieved by the implementation of integrated monitoring systems and early warning systems for landslides movements. The application of GBInSAR technique for monitoring landslides interacting with infrastructures is discussed, and two case histories are presented. It is shown that this technique is particularly suitable for the displacements monitoring of landslides interacting with infrastructures, thanks to its peculiar features (i. e. areal mapping, operability under every weather and lighting conditions and continuous and completely remote monitoring). Hence, it can be considered a very important tool for the reduction of risks connected to the realisation and activity of large infrastructures. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract
The Research Centre on Prediction, Prevention and Control of Georisks, Sapienza Università di Roma (CERI) was selected as one of the World Centres of Excellence on Landslide Risk Reduction (WCoE) under the title of "Research and development of advanced technologies for landslide hazard analysis in Italy" in the period 2008-2011. The present paper provides background information on the activities carried out by the CERI, in the frame of the WCoE network. Pre-defined purposes have been achieved by the implementation of integrated monitoring systems and early warning systems for landslides movements. The application of GBInSAR technique for monitoring landslides interacting with infrastructures is discussed, and two case histories are presented. It is shown that this technique is particularly suitable for the displacements monitoring of landslides interacting with infrastructures, thanks to its peculiar features (i. e. areal mapping, operability under every weather and lighting conditions and continuous and completely remote monitoring). Hence, it can be considered a very important tool for the reduction of risks connected to the realisation and activity of large infrastructures. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
