Project
A novel and unified solution to multi-phase mass flows
General project description
This project focuses on landslide-tsunami interactions. The project aims to develop tools to predict and mitigate tsunami hazards worldwide, through a combination of physical modelling at Utrecht University and numerical model development (r.Avaflow) at the University of Bonn.

Project
NWO VENI - Impact or shear? Unravelling bed entrainment by debris flows
01.01.2019
to 31.12.2022
General project description
Every year debris flows cause many fatalities and damage in mountainous areas. Debris flows may grow by picking up material, and I will unravel the mechanisms of bed erosion by scale experiments and field measurements. This will facilitate more accurate debris-flow volume estimation, which enables better hazard prediction and mitigation.
