Events
Training on rockfall modelling in Chexbres (CH), May 2017
On 16 and 17 May 2017, ecorisQ organised the 10th training course on rockfall hazard assessement using the rockfall trajectory simulation model Rockyfor3D. The course was held in the region around Lausanne (Chexbres, Switzerland) and included a half day field visit (Mont-Pélérin). The program can be found here.
Third ecorisQ General Assembly 2016 in Lyon
On 17 November 2016, ecorisQ organises the third general assembly in Lyon (France). We link up with the Rock Slope Stability Symposium 2016 (RSS 2016), which takes place from 15 - 17 November 2016. Members are invited to obtain latest news on the status of ecorisQ and its future activities, as well as on the new ecorisQ tool SOSlope, which allows detailed assessment of potential shallow landslide release areas and volumes, with and without the reinforcing effect of forest vegetation. The programm can be downloaded here.
4th International Conference: Soil, Bio - and - Eco-engineering
The 4th international conference on Soil Bio- and Eco-engineering - "The Use of Vegetation to Improve Slope Stability" will take place from the 11th to the 14th of July 2016 in Sydney - Australia. This conference is preceeded by a workshop (9th and 10th of July 2016) on Root reinforcement - measuerements and modelling, where ecorisQ is actively involved.
Training on rockfall hazard assessment in Vorarlberg (AT), June 2015
The 16th and 17th of June 2015 ecorisQ organised a training on rockfall hazard assessement using the rockfall trajectory simulation model Rockyfor3D. The training was held in Schruns(Montafon, Vorarlberg, Austria) and included a half day field visit (in Gaschurn). The program can be found here. The spoken language was German and English and the training was given by Luuk Dorren.
Second GA - Innsbruck April 2015
On 22 and 23 April 2015, ecorisQ organised the second general assembly in Innsbruck, Austria. ecorisQ members were invited to profit from interesting technical presentations in the field of natural hazard risk management, to meet other members and to jointly discuss the future of ecorisQ. The PDFs of the techncial presentations and the minutes of the GA can be downloaded below.
Training on rockfall modelling in Mont-Pélérin (CH), Nov. 2014
On 25 and 26 November 2014, ecorisQ organised a training on rockfall hazard assessement using the rockfall trajectory simulation model Rockyfor3D. The training was held in the region around Lausanne (Switzerland) and included a half day field visit (Mont-Pélérin). The spoken language was French and the training was given by Luuk Dorren. The cost of this training was 425 Euro incl. lunch for both days.
