Research at the International
Landslide Centre |
Research is
a fundamental part of our activities at the International Landslide
Centre. All staff are research active to a high level.
We undertake a wide range of research projects in the UK, Europe and
worldwide. Our principal research areas are as follows:
- Landslide mechanisms and processes
- Material deformation and landslide movement
- Modelling of slope systems
- Landslide hazard and risk assessment
- Frequency / magnitude relationships for landslides
- Human vulnerability and landslide impacts
- Terrestrial laser scanning for slope characterisation
- Landslide monitoring
- Geomorphological assessment of unstable terrain
- The application of remote sensing techniques to landslide
delineation
- Low cost data collection techniques for terrain mapping
We have access to a wide range of facilities within the
International Landslide Centre and from the Department of Geography,
including:
- A first class, unique geotechnical laboratory
- A Land Rover 110 County Station Wagon
- A portable drilling rig
- Laser scanning systems
- Site instrumentation including self-logging piezometers,
extensometers and weather stations
- Ground penetrating radar
