Landslides are escalating — in frequency, intensity, and impact

From Himalayan cloudbursts to Arctic glacier outbursts, climate extremes are reshaping geohazard dynamics across the globe. But with data, innovation, and engineering foresight — we can stay ahead of the slope.

The ICONHIC 2026 Call for Abstracts is still open.
We invite engineers, scientists, researchers, and practitioners to share cutting-edge work on forecasting, monitoring, and mitigating landslide risks across natural and built environments.

Focus topics include:

• Big Data, GIS, and AI-driven landslide forecasting: Integrating real-time data streams with machine learning and spatial modeling for early warning and hotspot prediction.
• Climate change and slope stability: Quantifying rainfall thresholds, permafrost degradation, and hydrological triggers under changing climate regimes.
• Volcanic and cascading hazards: Understanding landslides within complex multi-hazard systems — including ash-laden flows, lahars, and earthquake-induced slides.
• Landslides in cold regions and the Arctic: Addressing thawing permafrost, glacier lake outbursts, and remote monitoring challenges in high-latitude environments.
• Pipeline and geohazards: Engineering solutions to protect energy infrastructure from landslides, including risk-informed routing, design, and operational strategies.
• Advances in monitoring & early warning: Deploying sensor networks, UAVs, satellite data, and physical models to improve detection and response times.

Whether you’re working on physical experiments, numerical models, infrastructure design, or hazard mapping — this is the platform to share your ideas and solutions.
