Multidisciplinary approach and involved science disciplines for the hazard assessment of landslide triggered impulse waves.
Source publication
This poster introduces objectives, research concept and initial preliminary results of an interdisciplinary research approach for modelling landslide-generated impulse waves in mountain lakes from a cascade hazard analyses perspective. Main focus of the poster is to explain the necessity to study this kind of phenomena and how a multidisciplinary a...

... generated impulse waves in natural mountain lakes, or reservoirs, in a forward analysis, represents a hard challenge for the science world. For that purpose, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to analyze the complexity of these kinds of phenomena where different science disciplines as geology, geotechnics and hydraulics are strictly related (Fig. 1). A detailed geological, structural, geo- morphological and geo-mechanical investigation of an area allows the realization of a good geotechnical model of an unstable slope. A topography with high resolution and an accurate bathymetry of the lake floor are necessary for a good simulation of a landslide generated impulse wave. The ...
