The aim of this innovation project is to explore the feasibility of using seismic surface waves (SW) as a non-invasive and relatively low-cost technique that can be used to assess internal condition of water-retaining earthworks, in response to extreme weather events and climate change. Such technique can be utilised as a means of providing early warning of the need to consider remedial measures.
