Research Interests

Doug’s PhD project is investigating failures of cut and fill slopes that occurred in the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. ��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.

Working thesis title

Performance of cut and fill slopes in earthquakes and impacts on the built environment
