Research title: Statistical landslide hazard modelling with a view towards medium to long term territorial planning
Research Summary
My research interest focuses on ways to statistically and spatially model the three components of landslide hazard assessment, namely, the probability of landslide occurrence (also known as susceptibility), the size of the event and the frequency of occurrence. This interest is explored in a Bayesian framework, and the Integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) used for inference.
I have worked on a Bernoulli-log-Gaussian hurdle model for landslide occurrence and size across the Island of Dominica after hurricane Maria, as well as a marked spatial point process model for landslide intensity across Japan, marked by the landslide area. This model also used the Barrier model to define the spatial random effect between landslide locations. Additionally, I worked on a project with the British Geological Survey to update their landslide susceptibility model for debris flows occurring across Scotland.
