Projects: Åknes/Tafjord (Western Norway)
Multidisciplinary program of research on two large rock instabilities that may provoke tsunamis in the fjords.
Pers. contrib: slope and fracturation analyis, GIS analysis, fieldwork, airborne and terrestrial lidar, hydrogeochemistry.
Geohazards mapping of the county of Møre og Romsdal (Western Norway)
Detection of potential rock avalanches sites in the most "active" county of Norway.
Pers. contrib: field mapping, gis and airborne lidar analysis.
Bergen
  Pilote study on the detection and mapping of instabilities (rockfalls, debris flows, landslides) in urban areas for the community of Bergen.
Pers. contrib: gis and slope analysis, fieldwork.
ICG-Stability of rock slopes
  This project seeks to integrate the geological and geotechnical/geomechanical aspects of hazard and risk related to large rock-slope failures.
Pers. contrib: slope and lidar analysis.
Seditrans
Characterization and quantification of past and current valley-to-fjord sediment transport - processes and products.
Pers. contrib: quantification of short and long term chemical weathering, GIS analysis.
GEOS-Pre-quaternary landscape
  Landscape evolution and deep weathering in the region of Oslo.
  Pers. contrib: mineralogical and geochemical characterization of weathering, erosion numerical modelling, development of a chemical denudation model.
Other projects: some regional landslides hazard assessments (GIS and fieldworks), ICG-PSInSAR, ICG-GIT, National geohazards susceptibility mapping.
