Acknowledgements

This paper is part of the activities of Project PRIN-05 An integrated monitoring system for the analysis of large slow-moving landslides (National Scientific Coordinator: P. Canuti, Università di Firenze; Local Unit Scientific Coordinator: M. Pellegrini), bilateral agreement between Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia and Regione Emilia Romagna Collaborazione nello studio e nel monitoraggio di fenomeni franosi a grande rischio nei bacini Panaro e destra Secchia. Distinct contribution of authors F. Ronchetti, A. Corsini, F. Cervi, and L. Borgatti have conceived and written the paper, and have elaborated most of the data and figures. C.C. Lucente and M. Veneziano have planned and managed geognostic investigation and monitoring campaigns in the site. Information on snow cover in the study area was kindly provided by G. Fontana (Frassinoro, Modena, Italy). The authors wish to thank Maia Laura Ibsen for observations on an early version of the manuscript and Oliver Korup for his useful review work.
