Research

The EILD research programme consists of seven themes:

Theme 1: Landslide severity

Forecasting landslide severity at different magnitudes of ground shaking and rain.

Theme 2: Landslide reactivation

Quantifying post-earthquake landslide triggering and reactivation thresholds from ground shaking, rain and time.

Theme 3:Landslide dam longevity

Evaluating how long landslide dams may last in the landscape

Theme 4: Landslide runout

Determining how far landslide debris may travel downslope, once triggered

Theme 5: Post-earthquake sediment cascades

Modelling how sediment cascades from hillslope to sea.

Theme 6: Performance of earthworks

Assessing the performance of earthworks infrastructure subject to landsliding.

Theme 7: Tools for managing landslide hazard and risk

An integrated set of predictive tools within a decision making framework.
