Fundamental Concepts of Landslide Hazard Assessment Using Geophysical Techniques

This exam evaluates the essential theoretical concepts involved in the assessment of landslide hazards through geophysical techniques. Focus areas include topographical analysis, soil mechanics, and geophysical imaging methods.

Landslide hazards pose serious risks to human safety and infrastructure, necessitating rigorous assessment to inform mitigation strategies. Analyzing landslide susceptibility directly influences engineering designs and community resilience.

The exam will require candidates to explain the principles of geophysical methods used in landslide hazard assessments and assess the effectiveness of various risk reduction approaches.

Candidates may also be asked to discuss case studies demonstrating successful landslide risk management, highlighting the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application.
