Professor Michel Jaboyedoff and Ph.D student Li Fei from our Risk Analysis Group participated to the 2nd Badong International Geohazards Symposium (BIGS) held in Badong County, Hubei Province, China, from August 24-25, 2019. As a invited speaker, Michel Jaboyedoff delivered a keynote speech with the title “Estimating initial failure surface depths and volumes based on surface information” and visited the landslide in-situ experiment site in Three Gorges Reservoir Area. This conference was a good chance for our group to exchange ideas, experiences on issues related to geohazards with worldwide scholars.
