3.2 for 32. 🧡 An estimated 15,500 Hokies came together for this year’s #VT32Run to honor those who were killed on April 16, 2007. #VTWeRemember

My students getting ready for their presentation at the #CGPR annual meeting at #VirginiaTech #Geotech. They did an amazing job! PROUD👍👍

*** EVENT HIGHLIGHT *** #Spain's Valencia region grappling with #devastating #flash #floods that have claimed over 200 lives and many more missing. Unprecedented #rainfall submerged entire towns, leaving thousands without basic necessities. At @EOI_lab of @vtgeosciences of @VT_Science and @UNUINWEH, we leverage cutting-edge @AI and #satellite intelligence to create actionable data supporting rescue operations.

211 muertos 💔 en la #DANA y 1.900 desaparecidos 🇪🇸 Y una #INUNDACIÓN terrible que ha convertido a #Valencia en un dantesco lodazal fotografiado por el #Landsat de la @NASA el 30 octubre 2024 Ahora URGE atender a Víctimas y Rescatar DESAPARECIDOS luego…

📣 New paper on retrogressive #landslides in #sensitiveclays incorporating a new strain softening law in #MPM. Validation with three case histories. Great collaboration with Univ of Quebec at Chicoutimi

@NinaStark18 Thanks Nina! I am super happy!

@AlbaYerro Congratulations! That's great

🥳🥳I am super happy to share that I received the #NSF #CAREER award!! nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…)! “Transformative understanding of rainfall-triggered landslides with vegetation effects from a climate change perspective” I hope we can start producing great research very soon!

📣📣 Our paper on the Cadia Tailings Dam Failure is Editor’s Choice of the Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering! Free downloads during this month! With Jorge Macedo, @RenzoCornejo, @the_penmaker #tailingsdamfailures #ASCE #landslides #tailings #runout

Ready to begin with the centrifuge testing on leave failures due to internal erosion at @ArmyERDC Great team!

Les excursions fins a Coaner són una bona manera de gaudir de la gran bellesa del paisatge, el patrimoni i la geologia del #geoparccatalunyacentral! Un conjunt monumental situat en una vall tranquil·la, pintoresca i plena d'encant. Us ho recomanem! 📷 @rodbagphoto #bagesturisme
