Sabari Nathan C. PhD
Engineering Geologist · Geohazards Researcher
Engineering geologist specialising in landslides and multi-hazard interactions. Research interests include the role of hydrometeorological processes, ground conditions, and human activity in slope instability, with applications to mountain infrastructure and disaster risk reduction.
Research Focus
Understanding how ground conditions, rainfall, and human activity influence slope stability.
- Subsurface conditions
- Weathered rock, weak layers, and water pathways that control slope failure.
- Rainfall and human activity
- The effects of rainfall, traffic, construction, and land-use change on fragile slopes.
- Landslide mapping
- Combining field evidence and spatial models to identify landslide-prone terrain.
- Mountain infrastructure
- Assessing landslide impacts on roads and railways to inform mitigation.
