Urban landslide mitigation in developing countries
Collaboration between modellers from the School of Geographical Sciences and specialists in public service evaluation and delivery, has resulted in a new cross-disciplinary platform for measuring the effectiveness of landslide mitigation in vulnerable urban communities.
The School of Geographical Sciences is recognised for developing numerical models of physical processes.
CHASM, Combined Hydrology and slope Stability Model (developed by MG Anderson), dynamically simulates rainfall-triggered landslides and provides the scientific basis for risk reduction projects around the world.
Collaboration with economists in CMPO (Centre for Market and Public Organisation) – specialists in public service evaluation and delivery – has resulted in a new cross-disciplinary platform for measuring the effectiveness of landslide mitigation in vulnerable urban communities.
