The third Italian Workshop on Landslides (The 3rd IWL) - "Hydrological response of slopes through physical experiments, numerical investigations and field monitoring"
Date: Wednesday 23 October 2013 - Thursday 24 October 2013
Location: Partenope Conference Centre,Naples,Italy
Description: The Third Italian Workshop on Landslides will take place in Naples, jointly organised by the Seconda Università di Napoli and the Università di Napoli Federico II. Again, it will concern the relationships between hydrology and slope stability. In fact, the main session will be devoted to the hydrologic response of slopes, viewed through the results of tests on small-scale physical models, of analyses carried out using mathematical models, and of data from the monitoring of well-instrumented natural slopes. Again, renowned researchers from foreign countries will contribute with their knowledge and experience and again, wide and lively discussion will characterise the meeting. This year, a round robin will take place on day two when several researchers will be engaged in a competition aimed at checking whether present knowledge, and what type of knowledge, allow to successfully perform class A predictions.
The IWL will follow a Mediterranean Workshop on Landslides focused on the topic of “Landslides in Hard Soils and Weak Rocks” (October, 21 and 22, 2013). This will offer a good opportunity to hear from people living on the Mediterranean Sea about their problems and solutions.
Once again, the registration expenses will be low in order to allow as many people as possible to attend and lively participate in the two events and initiatives.
Therefore, we cordially invite all people fond of slope stability and landslide problems to attend and participate in the two meetings.
