Principal aims
Develop, test and apply seismic methods in the Earth surface sciences, including hazard sciences and hydrology, as well as processes such as landslides, floods, and debris flows.
Description
We focuses on the development of a seismological approach to monitoring of geomorphological processes, and its application in studies of process mechanics and landscape evolution. This approach uses the acoustic signals of mass transport at the Earth’s surface to determine the location, timing, magnitude and nature of geomorphic process events. Unlike any other remote sensing technique, it’s high temporal resolution allows us to evaluate geomorphic activity in the context of meteorological conditions and study processes interactions within individual events. Therefore, it is the key to understanding landscape response to climate change, as well as many other aspects of Earth surface dynamics.
