The commonly used techniques deploy expensive instrumentation that can be hardly afforded, especially by small mountain communities in which landslide events often occur repeatedly. In recent years, the scientific community, as well as the private sector, have devoted growing effort to reducing the costs of monitoring systems. In this work, we present a monitoring network based on single-frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors that have been activated to monitor an active landslide in the Carnic Alps, North-Eastern Italy. The system, which was composed of 12 single-frequency GPS stations, one seismometric station coupled with a single-frequency GPS instrument for real-time monitoring, and one permanent dual-frequency GPS station located in a stable area, provided daily reports of the landslide motion to the local authorities and administration. We show that this system is a valuable, flexible, and cost-effective tool for quick landslide characterization, and has high potential to be used as a landslide early warning system in case of emergency situations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22093526","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]],"date-time":"2022-05-06T06:46:39Z","timestamp":1651819599000},"page":"3526","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Cost-Effective, Single-Frequency GPS Network as a Tool for Landslide Monitoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8359-040X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Zuliani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics\u2014OGS, 33100 Udine, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2927-6807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lavinia","family":"Tunini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics\u2014OGS, 33100 Udine, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5869-0743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Federico","family":"Di Traglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics\u2014OGS, 33100 Udine, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2326-6103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Massimiliano","family":"Chersich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"YETITMOVES S.r.l., c\/o EUCENTRE, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}]},{"given":"Davide","family":"Curone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"YETITMOVES S.r.l., c\/o EUCENTRE, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"124","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enggeo.2012.07.017","article-title":"Design and implementation of a landslide early warning system","volume":"147\u2013148","author":"Intrieri","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eng.
