DESCRIPTION:Prof. Tom Schanz \nIt is well known that environmental process
 es can trigger a landslide and control subsequent movements. But often the
 re is uncertainty in the explanation of the exact failure mechanisms which
  is essential in landslide forecasting\, quantitative hazard assessment an
 d management (e.g. design of early warning systems). For this study in par
 ticular we are interested in two locations 1st reworked Callovo-Oxfordian 
 black marls of the South French Alps\, because this kind of material is hi
 ghly prone to hydrological triggered landslides and 2nd a case study in th
 e North Italian Appenin. The objective of the work is the analysis of mech
 anisms that initiate failure and control subsequent motion of landslides i
 n small-scale experiments and by numerical modeling.\n\nCV\nPromotion Dr.
