Analysis of a potentially unstable slope in the context of climate change
The article presents the problem of a potentially unstable slopes in the context of climate change. Essentially, the aim is to show the possibilities of using climate data and forecasts of expected climatic changes in the design of geotechnical installations. The direct description of climate change used in climatology is too general and useless for geotechnical analyses. Therefore, climate change signals, effects and impacts are introduced for geotechnical processing, which can be evaluated based on climate data. The research results show that simple, nature-based solutions can successfully ensure long-term stability, even in the face of expected climate change. The costs of such measures, such as timely weeding and planting of trees and shrubs as well as proper surface water drainage, are generally quite low compared to the follow-up costs of landslide remediation.
