Landslide Field Mapping

By Katie Jones, PhD Student in Theme 5: Post-earthquake sediment cascades Together with Chris Massey and Regine Morgenstern, along with fellow PhD students Caleb Gasston and Colin Bloom, we spent 2 weeks in the field during October 2019 and January 2020 visiting a selection of large landslides triggered by the Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake. Unsurprisingly […]

What is a landslide dam?

Landslide dams include any blockage of a watercourse (stream, river, etc.) caused by the movement of material downslope. Often, but not always, the landslides are triggered by large earthquakes, such as occurred during the Kaikoura 2016 earthquake. Many dams are slowly eroded by seepage through the dam or cut down after overtopping by the lake […]

Seismic design and performance of high cut-slopes

The Seismic design and performance of high cut slopes NZTA Research report 613, is available here from the NZTA website. This July 2018 version was developed by P Brabhaharan, D Mason and E Gkeli of Opus International Consultants Ltd (now WSP).
