The geotechnical engineering group at the University of Sheffield is recruiting a postdoc for the funded project, “Rooting for Resilience – Forests as Physical Barriers to Landslide Runout”, on a 3-year contract. This project aims to develop a framework for assessing the capacity of forests to mitigate landslide hazards, particularly focusing on the interaction between landslides and trees, including the effects of tree failure and woody debris. The research integrates numerical modelling, laboratory experiments, and case studies to guide reforestation strategies for landslide hazard reduction.
