Research Interests
Doug鈥檚 PhD project is investigating failures of cut and fill slopes that occurred in the 2016 Kaik艒ura earthquake. 听The research aims to improve the understanding of how modified slopes respond to strong ground shaking, how earthquake-induced landslides have impacted infrastructure corridors, and how the different types of slope failures (and their distribution) affected the post-earthquake recovery.
