CEE at Illinois professor Timothy Stark has received a $315,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for his proposal on Multi-Dimensional and Multi-Physics Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslides and Runout. This project will build on his CEE at Illinois Rapid Response Grant-funded study of the devastating Oso, Wash., landslide, which caused extensive damage and loss of life in 2014.
Ultimately, the model will improve landslide detection and prediction, and help with land-use planning and policy decisions.
