Abstract
This paper describes a microwave distance measurement technique specially designed for the monitoring of the rocky landslide named “Séchilienne” near Grenoble in the French Alps, for which an all weather conditions, real time monitoring system is needed in order to detect collapse precursors. The precision achieved is in the range of a few tenths of a millimeter at a distance of 1,200 m. The data obtained enable real-time monitoring of the movement changes, regardless of the meteorological conditions.
