Imagery techniques allow to follow the global evolution of large scale landslides and cliffs, contrary to traditional techniques. Using such techniques to study the kinematics of three instable zones, we show (1) that correlating aerial images is a fast way to get global and multi-temporal data; (2) that terrestrial laserscanner allows to acquire data in small areas undergoing higher movement rates, often not accessible to conventionnal survey; (3) that there is no satisfying method using high resolution satellite images in such studies yet; and (4) that the regular acquisition of transveral images acquired on site provide a fast, efficient and low-cost way to follow the evolution of a landslide. Regarding the sites this study focusses on, ...
