Landslide Research Group

The Landslide Research Group is a team of scientists and engineers studying landslides—mass movements of earth or rock down slopes. They analyze how and why landslides occur, assess related risks, and develop methods to predict or prevent them. Their work involves field studies, data collection, and modeling to improve understanding of landslide behaviors, aiming to enhance safety and land-use planning. By advancing knowledge in this area, they help communities prepare for and mitigate the impacts of landslides, which can cause damage to property and pose hazards to people.
