Overview
The Geotechnical Engineering and Infrastructure Research Group (GEIRG) explores the influence of geohazards and climate change effects on the performance of core infrastructure (e.g. roads, buried pipelines, culverts). The research group leverages the expertise of a multidisciplinary team utilizing an integrated research framework that encompasses remote sensing, laboratory testing, physical modelling and numerical simulation tools.
