Cordillera Blanca Project

Czech Scientists have received a four year research project (2011–2014), enabling them to continue in their research activities focused on slope stability and phenomena of the glacial lakes outburst flood in the majestic Cordillera Blanca in Peru. Previous research as well as the new project is supported by Peruvian colleagues from Autoridad Nacional Del Agua, Unidad de Glaciología y Recursos Hídricos, Huaraz. The project will study four topics: spatial and temporal occurrence of landslides; stability calculations of dangerous slopes; GLOF extent modeling; and multi hazard maps preparation.
