Geotechnical Ecohazards
Geotechnical failures and environmental pollution are often interrelated, creating a special type of hazards. The unique combination of expertise shared by our group and the Clay Lab allowed for successful investigation of challenging geo-eco-hazard problems in the USA, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Israel and Brazil, and for prevention of potential geotechnical failures leading to ecological catastrophes in Azerbaijan and Switzerland. We are seeking a pro-active multidisciplinary approach for geo-eco-hazard assessment and mitigation.
