Research

My research, taking place in the JuraHydroslide project, will focus on the role of groundwater in landslide phenomena. The objective of the project is to find alternative hydrogeologic indicators to develop innovative tools for making short- and long-term predictions of landslide activity in the Jura Mountains, as well as assess the interaction between karst systems and slope stability. The study sites are distributed along the Jura massif to cover several types of landslides, such as permanent deep-seated landslides, superficial spontaneous landslides, peat landslides or rock avalanches. Field characterization and monitoring will be tackled by linking standard methods and tests in hydrogeology and geotechnics, with innovative approaches, such as repeated flights of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems, for slope hydrogeologic and geotechnical assessments.
