Landslide Research

Landslide research involves studying the movement of rock, soil, and debris down slopes, which can occur due to factors like heavy rain, earthquakes, or human activity. Researchers analyze the causes, types, and effects of landslides to improve prediction, prevention, and mitigation strategies. This field combines geology, engineering, and environmental science to understand how these natural events impact landscapes and communities. By assessing risk areas, scientists aim to protect lives and property and enhance our understanding of how to manage land use in vulnerable regions.
