Analysis of the Behaviour of Long-Runout Rock Avalanches Using Simple Energy Models
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-06)Rock avalanches are a natural hazard of fragmented rock with extreme geomorphological impact and cause significant amounts of damage to the human population. This thesis develops and evaluates simple physics-based energy ... -
Global Study of Tailings Dam Failures by Statistical and Remote Sensing Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-26)The growth of the mining industry, mainly driven by increased resource demands, has accelerated the production and storage of mine waste. Tailings comprise the fine-grained fraction of this waste. Due to their intrinsically ... -
Landslide Hazard and Climate Change in the Mountain Glacial Environment of Northwest North America
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-21)The aim of this thesis was to improve the understanding of the complex interactions between climate change and landslide behavior in the periglacial mountain environment of northwest North America. In particular, this ... -
Monitoring Ice-dammed Glacier Lake Outburst Floods in the Karakoram Using Visible-Infrared Satellite Remote Sensing Observations
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)Glaciers are an important part of the hydrological cycle because they act as freshwater storage. Glacier ice contains about three-quarters of the world’s freshwater; supplying most of the base flow for rivers originating ...
