Geotechnical Hazards Analysis & Mitigation    (Deadlines;  Abstract: July 1 & Draft Papers: July 15)

This session welcomes papers related to large scale problems that are associated with the broad topic of geotechnical hazards, such as, earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, severe natural events (e.g., Hurricane Katrina), tsunamis, wildfires inducing erosion and earth dam failures, etc.  As it is suggested in the previous list, it is common that a combination of hazards turns this into a larger magnitude disaster.  The hazards and mitigation opens possibilities for the analysis of the hazard problem and their solutions.  Some of the tools used to develop solutions that are not apparent at the site level can be better evaluated using computer techniques such as 3D visualization, Lidar surveys, bathymetric studies, and GIS/remote sensing. Additionally, methods and processes (instrumentation, monitoring systems, safety measures, etc.) that prevent these hazards to take place and have people at risk are also welcome in this sessions.  Papers that include other disciplines in the overall solution to hazard problems are encouraged.  However, emphasis should be made on the geotechnical aspects of interest.

Approved Session and Sponsored by:  Computer Applications Committee of the ASCE Geo-Institute.
