Abstract: The results of the geophysical surveys of some of Albania’s largest landslides are analysed. The slides have developed along the shores of the hydropower plant lakes in Fierza, Vau Dejes, and Banja. These three slides are analysed in various geological and morphological conditions. The applied geophysical surveying methods in these areas are also described.


Key Words: Landslide prediction, Hydrotechnical works.
