Advances in Modeling of Rockslide and Flood Events with Special Reference to the 7 February 2021 Dhauli-Ganga Disaster in Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya
Session ID#: 123274
Session Description:
The 7 February 2021 disaster in the Indian state of Uttarakhand in the western Himalaya that claimed over a hundred lives, appears to be a complex event comprising a combination of rockslide, avalanche, debris flow and flooding. With the advent of technology in the recent years, new methodologies have emerged for studying these events using remote sensing, geomorphic and seismological analyses. The proposed session invites abstracts covering a wide range of subjects as given below, and emerging techniques that show promise in better understanding, modeling and forewarning the rockslide / landslide and flood hazards.
- Rockslide-flood investigation using GIS, remote sensing and geophysics
- Hydro-geological and geo-morphological aspects of cascading hazards
- Mass flow mechanics and controlling factors of cascading hazards
- Space and time forecasting of cascading hazards
- Monitoring, modelling and risk assessment
- Increasing risk in mountainous terrains in the changing environment
- Dynamic modeling of rockslides / landslides
