ERC Starting Grant for the UrbanSlide research project

[Translate to Englisch:]

1/1

Ugur Öztürk's project UrbanSlide is dedicated to understanding the complex factors shaping landslide risk in cities. It focuses on the interplay between societal, environmental, and urbanization-related risk drivers. The project's objective is to "get ahead of landslides" by developing a comprehensive hybrid model that integrates both process-based and statistical approaches, informed by empirical data on social-environmental interactions. UrbanSlide places a strong emphasis on predicting the various human activities that contribute to shaping landslide riskscapes. The project aims to provide a quantitative assessment of future landslide risks in rapidly growing tropical urban centers, thus aiding in informed decision-making.
