A Review of the Advantages and Limitations of Geophysical Investigations in Landslide Studies

Table 4

For each drawback, this table explains how the three-level scale (+, -, and n.d., which mean that many/some, insufficient, and non-discussed efforts were made to overcome the limitations) was applied.
