| Scope |
In recent years, the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events have been continuously increasing. Among the various hazards affecting slopes worldwide, shallow landslides triggered by intense rainfall and earthquakes have emerged as one of the most prevalent and destructive disasters. Climate change has led to increasingly uneven temporal and spatial rainfall distribution, with alternating wet-dry cycles significantly altering slope infiltration behavior and stability. In addition, fragile geological conditions and fractured topography further compound the complexity and unpredictability of such disasters.
This session aims to explore the mechanisms, investigation and monitoring techniques, and risk assessment methods of slope-related disasters under extreme climatic conditions, while highlighting sustainable and disaster-resilient mitigation strategies. Particular attention will be given to the hydromechanical behavior of unsaturated soils, the impact of rainfall and infiltration on slope stability, and integrated studies that combine geophysical exploration, numerical modeling, and physical model experiments to analyze the triggering and evolution of shallow landslides.
Additionally, this session will examine the potential of microbially induced soil improvement (e.g., MICP/MISC), bioengineering, and low-carbon mitigation techniques for slope hazard management, as well as evaluate the carbon reduction benefits of various mitigation strategies.
We welcome researchers from geology, hydrology, geotechnical engineering, environmental science, and ecology to share their latest findings and practical experiences. This session aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and establish an integrated research framework that advances both the science and practice of slope disaster risk reduction under extreme climate conditions.
