Integrated Geotechnical Research Opportunity in Urban Environments
8 hours ago
A fully funded research project is available at the University of Tasmania to develop a comprehensive approach for assessing landslide risk in urban environments.
The research aims to generate high-resolution subsurface profiles of unstable urban slopes using advanced site investigation techniques, including Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW).
This project has significant relevance and societal impact, with the potential to enhance public safety and economic stability in urban areas.
About the ProjectThe PhD research focuses on developing a cost-effective approach for assessing landslide risk in urban environments. Urban landslides pose significant threats to infrastructure and public safety.
The research will employ CPT and MASW to obtain high-resolution data and enable non-destructive mapping for broad urban areas.
By combining these methods, the project will produce detailed 3D models of subsurface variability in unstable slopes and integrate them into advanced numerical simulations to assess how spatial variability in soil properties affects landslide mechanisms and slope deformation.
Candidate Requirements- Ideal applicants should have a strong background in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, geophysics, earth sciences, or environmental science.
- Experience or strong interest in fieldwork, particularly in geotechnical or geophysical site investigation.
- Ability to develop expertise in advanced data analysis and numerical modeling.
- Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively within interdisciplinary research teams.
- Commitment to producing impactful research that addresses critical urban and environmental issues.
This opportunity is ideal for candidates who are passionate about addressing complex urban and environmental challenges through innovative research and collaboration.
