The paper “Landslide runout analysis — current practice and challenges” of our 2014 Canadian Geotechnical Colloquium presenter, Dr. Scott McDougall of the UBC Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, has been published in the May 2017 issue of the Canadian Geotechnical Journal.
CGS members Peter Bobrowsky (Canadian Geological Survey), Michael Hendry and Renato Macciotta (both with the University of Alberta), together with colleague David Huntley (Canadian Geological Survey), recently returned from the 4th World Landslide Forum in Ljubljana, Slovenia where the University of Alberta's Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering and Geological Survey of Canada were recognized by UNESCO as a "World Centre of Excellence on Landslide Disaster Reduction". This joint collaboration is the only entity within North and South America with this prestigious recognition, which is in effect from 2017 to 2020.
