EGU General Assembly 2020: the online landslide sessions

Next week (4 – 8 May 2020) is the online version of the EGU General Assembly 2020, which is the largest annual meeting of the landslide research community.  EGU is organising the meeting online due to the cancellation of the physical meeting during the Corona Virus crisis.  At this stage one can only speculate on what this meeting will look like in 2021.

This is how EGU describe the online meeting:-

EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online (#shareEGU20) brings part of the activities of the EGU General Assembly 2020 online. We hope that authors and conveners will join us in sharing their research and discussing with colleagues. From 4 to 8 May 2020 (CEST) everyone can join us online for their favourite sessions.

Participation in EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online does not require payment of a registration fee. For uploads of presentation materials and commenting, authors and participants only need to have a Copernicus user account. Viewing abstracts and presentation materials does not require any authentication. Participating in text-based session chat channels requires the provision of a nickname and your email address. To organize your participation, please consider preparing your personal programme. To learn more about the chat channels, please see our page on how to use the chats.

I thought it would be helpful to summarise the main landslide sessions, which are part of the Natural Hazards programme group. I have organised these chronologically, the times are of course Central European Summer Time:
