The project aims to develop a robust coupled geotechnical-hydrometeorological framework for analyzing and managing the risks associated with soil slope and embankment failures in Leyte, Philippines. This region,
characterized by its tropical climate and mountainous terrain, is susceptible to natural hazards such as typhoons,
heavy rainfall, and landslides, which pose significant threats to infrastructure and communities.
The framework integrates advanced geotechnical analysis with on-site hydrometeorological data to enhance
early warning systems and improve disaster preparedness and response. By combining geotechnical engineering
principles with meteorological and hydrological data, the project seeks to understand the complex interactions
between soil mechanics and rainfall patterns.
