Associate Professor

Helge Henriksen

Field of work

  • Structural geology, engineering geology, hydrogeology, unstable mountain slopes, rapid mass movements

My research is directed towards the structural geology and hydrogeology of hard rocks and unstable mountain slopes. In addition, I have a long experience as a consultant in the evaluation of the hazard potential from rapid mass movements (rockfalls, debirs flows and snow-avalanches). In the making of hazard maps related to the Norwegian building act I use GIS (ArcGIS) and simulation software like RAMMS Rockfall, Rockyfor 3D, RAMMS Debirs Flow and RAMMS Avalanche.
