Earth's surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate–fluid mixtures: dry to wet,
dilute to dense, colloidal to granular and attractive to repulsive particles. This material variety …

Landslides are a common and challenging geohazard that may be caused by earthquakes,
rainfall, or manmade activity. Various monitoring strategies are used in order to safeguard …

Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) has been used for the characterization of media; however,
the results of TDR tests significantly differ according to the types of solutions. The objective …

Due to the climate change and hazardous geological environment in Taiwan, real-time
landslide monitoring for safety of adjacent tribes or infrastructures is much conspicuous …

Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) can help observe the initiation and evolution of localized
shear planes in both rock and soil slopes, and has temporal and spatial resolutions suitable …
