Second JTC1 Workshop on Triggering and Propagation of Rapid Flow-like Landslides
Description
The Joint Technical Committee on Natural Slopes and Landslides (JTC1) of Federation of International Geo-engineering Societies (FedIGS), which is the alliance of the learned societies ISSMGE, ISRM, IAEG and IGS, is organising the Second JTC1 Workshop on Triggering and Propagation of Rapid Flow-like Landslides, to be held in Hong Kong on 3-5 December 2018.
The aim of the Workshop is to promote discussion on the following topics:
- Improved understanding in triggering, mechanisms and runout of rapid flow-like landslides
- Advances in risk management and mitigation of rapid flow-like landslides
- Diagnosis of notable case histories of rapid flow-like landslides
- Potential impact of climate change on initiation and propagation of rapid flow-like landslides
A special session of debris runout benchmarking exercise for landslide mobility modelling will be held as part of the Workshop.
Deadline for extended abstract submission is 30 June 2018.
