Landslides
The research group investigates all kinds of landslides and the geological processes that can trigger slides and tsunamis.
Research activities of the LANDSLIDES group focus on the stability of bedrock, soil and snow in various types of slopes. Key aspects of the research include the reconstruction of landslide histories in the past and linking those to present-day active mass movements. This linkage allows deciphering controlling factors on slope stabilities such as climatic, topographic and geological conditions, and helps to better understand and handle present and future instabilities.
The LANDSLIDES Research Group consists of bedrock and quaternary geologists, hydrogeologists, marine geologists and physicists. There is a great potential for a number of cross-disciplinary research activities, as well as student projects from B. Sc. to PhD level.
The research group collaborates with public and private institutions such as the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE), the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), as well as with national and international academic institutions.
