Course synopsis @ http://mjiit.utm.my/mdrm/mmjd-1213/

This course provides better understanding of geological risk assessment in an objective and quantitative manner. It focusses on the physical-, geotechnical- and geomorphological based approach for assessing complex landslides and debris flow, with the support of advanced geospatial technology. It highlights mapping, monitoring, and modelling of complex slope failures, rain-fall induced shallow landslides and earthquakes induced landslides. A comprehensive landslide hazard and risk assessment at different scales will be interactively discussed. This course also reveals the importance of rapid provision of high quality geoscientific information for decision makers. This course aims at exploring multi hazard and risk assessment methods, framework and strategies at local, regional and national scales, in different physiographic, climatic and geological settings.
