Matthieu Sturzenegger, Ph.D., P.Geo. (BC, AB), specializes in geohazard assessments and mitigation applied to both site-specific and regional-scale projects. He has both academic and industry experience in slope stability analysis; slope monitoring; geomorphological mapping; rock mechanics applied to both rock slope geohazards and slope design, and, advanced remote sensing. He works on a variety of projects in different sectors including transportation (railways, highways), communities, hydroelectric dams, and mining. Matthieu has published several scientific journal papers on the topics of terrestrial remote sensing applied to rock slope characterization, and on geohazards such as rock avalanches, rockslides, and debris flows. The subject of his Ph.D. research was the application of terrestrial remote sensing techniques (laser scanning and digital photogrammetry) for natural rock slope and open pit slope characterization. These techniques were integrated into the investigation and numerical modeling of open pit slopes and large rockslides.
