Among these instability problems, most colluvial landslides exhibit slow-moving patterns and pose a significant threat to local people and channel navigation. Advanced monitoring techniques are therefore implemented to investigate landslide deformation and provide insights for the subsequent countermeasures. In this study, the development pattern of a large colluvial landslide, locally named the Ganjingzi landslide, is analyzed on the basis of long-term monitoring. To understand the kinematic characteristics of the landslide, an integrated analysis based on real-time and multi-source monitoring, including the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), crackmeters, inclinometers, and piezometers, was conducted. The results indicate that the Ganjingzi landslide exhibits a time-variable response to the reservoir water fluctuation and rainfall. According to the supplement of community-based monitoring, the evolution of the landslide consists of three stages, namely the stable stage before reservoir impoundment, the initial movement stage of retrogressive failure, and the shallow movement stage with stepwise acceleration. The latter two stages are sensitive to the drawdown of reservoir water level and rainfall infiltration, respectively. All of the monitoring approaches used in this study are significant for understanding the time-variable pattern of colluvial landslides and are essential for landslide mechanism analysis and early warning for risk mitigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13020224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,11]],"date-time":"2021-01-11T11:36:11Z","timestamp":1610364971000},"page":"224","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Characterizing the Development Pattern of a Colluvial Landslide Based on Long-Term Monitoring in the Three Gorges Reservoir"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7835-0903","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Gui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental Studies, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Three Gorges Research Center for Geohazards, Ministry of Education, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geohazard Prevention Center, Chongqing 404100, China"}]},{"given":"Kunlong","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"8","article-title":"Reservoir-induced landslides","volume":"20","author":"Schuster","year":"1979","journal-title":"Bull.
