Presentation by Dave Petley. Dave is the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. His blog provides a commentary on landslide events occurring worldwide, including the landslides themselves, latest research, and conferences and meetings.
Field inspection of steep slopes adjacent to transport corridors can pose serious safety hazards. An accident that occurred on one such project highlights the risks and safety considerations posed for geotechnical fieldwork. Geomorphic evaluation of slopes was undertaken in the Waioeka Gorge to assess the risk to the…
Abstract Blue Slip is characterised by the unfavourable outcrop of bentonite 3km north of Kekerengu, North Canterbury. Despite repeated landslides impacting the key transport corridor below the landslide remains poorly defined. The aim of this research is characterisation of the landslide using methodology adopted from…
This assessment was prepared to provide a general overview of slope instability in the Auckland region as part of the Auckland Regional Council’s responsibilities under the Resource Management Act (1991).
