Beschreibung

Landslide Trigger Factors meticulously examines the geological and environmental elements culminating in catastrophic landslides. It emphasizes understanding geological predispositions like soil composition and rock structure, alongside environmental stressors, such as intense rainfall and seismic activity, to recognize early warning signs, and implement proactive safety measures. Did you know that deforestation and construction are anthropogenic influences that can destabilize already vulnerable slopes? The book uniquely bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application.

 
The book progresses through fundamental concepts of slope stability, geological factors predisposing landscapes to failure, and environmental triggers, quantifying their impact. A significant portion focuses on recognizing early warning signs like ground deformation and changes in groundwater levels. It draws from case studies across diverse regions and climatic zones, incorporating landslide inventories and remote sensing data.

 
It also addresses practical applications, including hazard mapping and risk assessment. The book's value lies in providing a comprehensive guide for professionals in Earth Sciences, Geography, and Environment to understand and manage landslide hazards effectively, connecting to fields like civil engineering and disaster management. For instance, civil engineers can use this information to design more stable infrastructure.

    A clear, concise primer on the GDPRThe GDPR aims to unify data protection and ease the flow of personal data across the EU. It applies to every organisation in the world that handles EU residents' personal data.While the GDPR is not law in countries outside the EU, it is effectively part of the legislative environment for organisations that do business with the EU. This is enforced through a combination of international trade law and business pressure – after all, a partner in the EU is unlikely to want to risk engaging with a company in the US, Australia or Singapore (or anywhere else) that will put them at risk.EU GDPR – An international guide to compliance is the ideal resource for anyone wanting a clear primer on the principles of data protection and their obligations under the GDPR.A concise pocket guide, it will help you understand:- The terms and definitions used in the GDPR, including explanations;- The key requirements of the GDPR, including:- Which fines apply to which Articles;- The principles that should be applied to any collection and processing of personal data;- The Regulation's applicability;- Data subjects' rights;- Data protection impact assessments;- The data protection officer role and whether you need one;- Data breaches, and notifying supervisory authorities and data subjects; and- Obligations for international data transfers.- How to comply with the Regulation, including:- Understanding your data, and where and how it is used (e.g. Cloud suppliers, physical records);- The documentation you must maintain (such as statements of the information you collect and process, records of data subject consent, processes for protecting personal data); and- The "appropriate technical and organisational measures" you need to take to ensure compliance with the Regulation.- A full index of the Regulation, enabling you to find relevant Articles quickly and easily.Supplemental material While most of the EU GDPR's requirements are broadly unchanged in the UK GDPR, the context is quite different and will have knock-on effects. You may need to update contracts regarding EU–UK data transfers, incorporate standard contractual clauses into existing agreements, and update your policies, processes and procedural documentation as a result of these changes.  We have published a supplement that sets out specific extra or amended information for this pocket guide. Click here to download the supplement. About the authorAlan Calder is the Group CEO of GRC International Group plc, the AIM-listed company that owns IT Governance Ltd.
