We now
maintain an experimental blog aimed

Introduction to the International Landslide Centre
|
The International Landslide Centre was
established in the Department of Geography in 2003 with the following
aims:
(1) To undertake fundamental research
into landslide problems with a
particular emphasis on less developed countries:
(2) To provide direct assistance
to communities affected by landslide disasters
(3) Assist in the development of capabilities to cope with and mitigate against landslides in less
developed countries
We are currently working on a range of projects in Asia, S. America,
Africa, Europe and North America. We undertake projects funded by
industry; national and local government agencies; research councils;
and by international organisations. We are always seeking to work
in new areas, so please do contact us. |
