3rd International Workshop on Landslides in Sensitive Clays
Description
The Technical Committee of the 3rd International Workshop on Landslides in Sensitive Clays (IWLSC) will be held in Quebec City, Canada, from September 28 to October 2, 2025. Building on the Workshop's two previous editions, IWSLC 2025 will be an occasion for researchers and professionals from Canada, Scandinavia and elsewhere to share knowledge and experience on various kinds of issues associated with landslides in sensitive clays. The Workshop's technical program is spread over three days, consisting of oral presentations and discussion periods. A benchmarking exercise will be organized in advance with Workshop participants on a voluntary basis to assess the stability of two slopes, one in Quebec and the other in Norway. The results of this comparative analysis will be discussed at a special session. There will also be an optional full-day technical visit. For full details, please visit the Workshop website at www.iwlsc2025.ca.

Additional Information
Call for Abstracts The technical committee wishes to invite researchers and practitioners to share the results of their work and practical experiences associated with the problem of landslides in sensitive clays. All participants are encouraged to submit a paper based on the themes listed below, or on any other aspect relevant to the title of the Workshop. Please note that all accepted papers must be presented either orally or as a poster at the conference. The call for abstracts will run from September 1, 2024 to November 1, 2024. Please note that the papers will be published in a volume of the “IOP conference series, Earth and Environmental Science (EES)”, which will be available on the workshop website. Conference Themes • Case study of landslides • Innovative in situ or laboratory methods • Landslide monitoring using remote sensing systems • Effect of climate changes on slope stability conditions • Numerical modelling • Environmental consequences of large landslides • Risk perception and management • Prevention and mitigation (technical, societal and environmental aspects)
