Reinforced Vegetation Numerical Evaluation of Slopes (REVENUES)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Vegetation acts as a reinforcement for slopes due to the penetration of roots into the ground. Roots penetration is a time dependent phenomenon that is strongly connected to the hydrogeological condition of the slope and that interacts with soil properties. Roots reinforcement of soil is well documented and numerous formulae exist in literature. The reinforcement action is provided by roots penetr ...

Integrated Risk Assessment of Hydrologically-Driven Landslides (HYDRODRIL)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
The scientific goal of HYDRODRIL is to investigate and evaluate the risk and nature of hydrologically-driven landslides, therefore making a contribution to a better understanding of the relationship between small-scale deformations in soil/rock structures, the failure mechanisms induced by these deformations and the following large-scale dynamic behavior, as well as a detailed risk assessment prog ...

Multiscale Modelling of Landslides and Debris Flows (MUMOLADE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"Landslides and debris flows are serious geo-hazards common to countries with mountainous terrains. The high speed and the enormity of debris mass make debris flows one of the most dangerous natural hazards. Debris flows are often triggered by landslides partially or completely mobilizing into debris flows. Globally, landslides cause billions of dollars in damage and thousands of deaths and injuri ...

PARticle Systems: Training on DEM simulation for industrial and scientific applications (PARDEM)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
"The overarching aim of the PARDEM project is to provide high quality training to a group of young researchers to work within and to further develop the multidisciplinary field of DEM computational simulation of granular processes. Granular materials are estimated to constitute over 75% of all raw material feedstock to industry. They also present many challenges for innovation and fundamental scie ...

Coordinated Asia-European long-term Observing system of Qinghai – Tibet Plateau hydro-meteorological processes and the Asian-monsoon systEm with Ground satellite Image data and numerical Simulations (CEOP-AEGIS)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
Human life and the entire ecosystem of South East Asia depend upon the monsoon climate and its predictability. More than 40% of the earth's population lives in this region. Droughts and floods associated with the variability of rainfall frequently cause serious damage to ecosystems in these regions and, more importantly, injury and loss of human life. The headwater areas of seven major rivers in S ...
