program
The theme of IWLSC 2025 is «From landslide mechanisms to social and environmental impacts». Building on the Workshop's two previous editions, IWSLC 2025 will be an occasion for researchers and professionals from Quebec, Canada, Scandinavia and elsewhere to share knowledge and experience on various kinds of issues associated with landslides in sensitive clays.
The Workshop's technical program is spread over three days (September 29 to October 1), consisting of oral presentations and discussion periods. A benchmarking exercise will be organized in advance with Workshop participants on a voluntary basis to assess the stability of two slopes, one in Quebec and the other in Norway. The results of this comparative analysis will be discussed at a special session. There will also be an optional full-day technical visit (October 2). All the accepted papers are included in an open access special volume of the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science (EES), which is now available at the following address :
ABSTRACTS BOOKLET : Abstract_Booklet_IWLSC2025
An icebreaker and a local color night complement the technical program.
You will find more information on the conference program here as activities are confirmed.
A total of 42 papers were selected. The 2025 workshop features a wide variety of high-quality presentations, many of which dealing with topics that were not widely covered in the previous two workshops. Four speakers have been invited, specifically for their specific themes, and are presented in the "Keynote Speakers" section.
The official program for the workshop has been drawn up on the basis of the papers received. Click here to see the “Final Program”. The twelve sessions that will make up the workshop are based on the following themes:
