About

Dr. Michel Jaboyedoff is a leading figure in the field of natural hazard assessment, with a primary focus on rock slope instabilities and landslide risk. His major contributions lie in pioneering the application of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for detailed rock slope characterization and monitoring. His seminal 2013 review on this topic, which has garnered over 357 citations, remains a cornerstone reference for researchers and practitioners, demonstrating how high-resolution remote sensing can revolutionize hazard detection and structural analysis. Beyond TLS, Jaboyedoff has significantly advanced rockfall trajectory modeling and susceptibility mapping, developing widely used methodologies for quantifying and mitigating geohazards. His work is characterized by a rigorous integration of field geology with cutting-edge geomatics, providing practical tools for engineering geology. With a prolific publication record and a global impact on how unstable rock slopes are studied and managed, Jaboyedoff’s research continues to shape safer infrastructure and land-use planning in mountainous regions.
