biological and engineering impacts of climate change on slopes

This project is funded by the EPSRC as part of the Building Knowledge for Climate Change (BKCC) programme, and will form part of the Earth Systems Laboratory (ESL) initiative within the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Support for the project includes 12 stakeholders and 16 academics from 6 British universities.

aims

To establish a facility for engineering and biological research for the purpose of determining the effects of climate change on the slopes of infrastructure embankments.
