DEBRIS‑FLOW SUSCEPTIBILITY AND RIVERBANK STABILITY ASSESSMENT ALONG ROAD AND FLUVIAL NETWORKS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Position: Research appointment (pre-doc) Institute: CNR - Inst. Hydrogeological Protection Research
New! Posted on: 12/05/2026 Deadline: 28/05/2026

Scientific-Disciplinary Group

04/GEOS-03 - Physical Geography, Geomorphology And Applied Geology, 08/CEAR-01 - Hydraulics, Hydrology, Hydraulic And Maritime Engineering

Description

The research project aims to develop debris‑flow susceptibility models and to analyse slope and riverbank stability in interaction with road infrastructures across the Dominican Republic. The activities will address the problem at a territorial scale, focusing on the interaction between geomorphological hazard processes and linear infrastructures, with particular attention to road networks and fluvial corridors.The analyses will be implemented within a GIS‑based framework and will rely on distributed and synthetic modelling approaches, supported by statistical and physically informed methods. The final goal is to produce susceptibility maps to support infrastructure risk assessment and to inform mitigation and resilience strategies at the national scale.
