Author Information

Ning Lu is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado School of Mines and his primary research in the past decade has concentrated on hillslope hydrology and slope stability. He is the senior author of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics (John Wiley and Sons, 2004) and has also published extensively in peer-reviewed journals on unifying effective stress in variably saturated porous media. Professor Lu is a recipient of the Norman Medal and the Croes Medal from the American Society of Civil Engineers for his seminal work on defining suction stress in variably saturated soils. Jonathan Godt is a Research Physical Scientist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and has worked on landslide hazard problems for more than fifteen years, both in the US and around the world. His research focuses on monitoring and understanding landslide processes to improve tools for landslide hazard assessment and forecasting. He has published numerous reports, maps and journal articles on the subject of landslide hazards.
