Title:	Scale-oriented landslide monitoring and early warning system for uranium legacy complexes in Mailuu Suu, Kyrgyzstan
Abstract:	Radioactive waste and the legacies of uranium mining combined with massive landslides pose tremendous risks to vast areas of Kyrgyzstan and their inhabitants. These risks comprise the potential destruction of radioactive legacies and thus, the mobilisation of radioactive material through streams and rivers into intensively cultivated agricultural areas. To tackle these challenges, a scale-oriented landslide monitoring and early warning system (LMEWS) was developed to increase the safety of Kyrgyz uranium legacy complexes in the Mailuu Suu region, southern Kyrgyzstan. The LMEWS utilizes cutting-edge technologies like satellite- and ground-based InSAR as well as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to ensure flexibility, transferability, and maximum protection against vandalism. Skalierbares Überwachungs- und Frühwarnsystem von Hangrutschungen für radioaktive Altlasteneinrichtungen in Mailuu Suu, Kirgisistan Radioaktive Altlasten in Kombination mit gewaltigen Hangrutschungen bergen enorme Risiken für weite Regionen Kirgisistans und deren Bewohner. Diese Risiken umfassen eine mögliche Zerstörung dieser Einrichtungen mit einhergehender Remobilisierung und Verfrachtung von radioaktivem Material durch Bäche und Flüsse in landwirtschaftlich intensiv genutzte Regionen. Zur Verminderung dieser Risiken wurde ein skalierbares Überwachungs- und Frühwarnsystem für Hangrutschungen entwickelten. Das System nutzt moderne Technologien wie Satelliten- und Boden-basiertes InSAR und UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems), um ein hohes Maß and Flexibilität, Übertragbarkeit und Schutz vor Vandalismus zu gewährleisten.
