Research project: Landslides glide plane mechanics using seismic reflection data and numerical modelling
On the 20th of June, 1996, a multi-phase landslide that initiated under water and retrogressed onto land ultimately killed four people, destroyed several houses, and undermined a major highway in Finneidfjord, Norway, an area with a known history of landsliding in the Holocene (Morgan et al. 2009). The aim of this study is to relate the seismic properties of the sediments to their geotechnical parameters for a geo-hazards assessment.
