Conducting research in risk communication that is both beneficial for stakeholders and scientists

One exhibition, many goals. Combining scientific research and risk communication

Testing the impact of visual communication on awareness of natural hazards, through an exhibition

Field investigation of preferential fissure flow paths with hydrochemical analysis of small-scale sprinkling experiments

The unsaturated zone largely controls groundwater recharge by buffering precipitation while at the same time providing preferential flow paths for infiltration. The importance of preferential flow on landslide hydrology is recognised in the literature; however, its monitoring and quantification remain difficult. This paper presents a combined...

A model of hydrological and mechanical feedbacks of preferential fissure flow in a slow-moving landslide

The importance of hydrological processes for landslide activity is generally accepted. However, the relationship between precipitation, hydrological responses and movement is not straightforward. Groundwater recharge is mostly controlled by the hydrological material properties and the structure (e.g., layering, preferential flow paths such as...

Flow-type failures in fine-grained soils: An important aspect in landslide hazard analysis

Forecasting the possibility of flow-type failures within a slow-moving landslide mass is rarely taken into account in quantitative hazard assessments. Therefore, this paper focuses on the potential transition of sliding blocks (slumps) into flow-like processes due to the generation of excess pore water pressure in undrained conditions. The...

The effect of groundwater fluctuations on the velocity pattern of slow-moving landslides

Slow-moving landslides show complex mechanical and fluid interactions. They show among others non linear intrinsic viscosity of the shear zone, undrained loading effects and the generation of excess pore water pressure. The parameterization of hydrological and geomechanical factors by field and laboratory tests to describe the movement pattern...
