Methods for quantification of rockslide hazard

The project use all available data that exists in Møre & Romsdal to evaluate methods for hazard assessments in a selected fjord area, including regional and more local hazard and risk zoning (e.g. Blikra et al., 2004).

Quantification of rockslide hazard

Rock avalanche events and regional hazard zones in Møre & Romsdal County, western Norway

The projects will both evaluate methods for regional hazard zoning and for more detailed hazard and risk zg. The reoningional hazard zonation has been performed based on the spatial distribution and temporal pattern of events, and several dating methods have been employed. I would need to do more work on exposure dating.

Secondly, a more detailed and quantitative zonation will be performed in a selected fjord area. This is mainly based on the frequency, age, and size of events in defined areas. In addition, the run-out and tsunami potential must be considered.
