Landslides pose significant risks to communities and infrastructure, and mitigating these risks relies on understanding landslide causes and triggering processes. It has been shown that geophysical surveys can significantly contribute to the characterization of unstable slopes. However, hydrological processes can be temporally and spatially heterogeneous, requiring their related properties to be monitored over time. Geoelectrical monitoring can provide temporal and volumetric distributions of electrical resistivity, which are directly related to moisture content. To date, studies demonstrating this capability have been restricted to 2‐D sections, which are insufficient to capture the full degree of spatial heterogeneity. This study is the first to employ 4‐D (i.e., 3‐D time lapse) resistivity imaging on an active landslide, providing long‐term data (3 years) highlighting the evolution of moisture content prior to landslide …
