Nick Koor

I have over twenty years experience in the field of engineering geology & geotechnical engineering of which twelve years (1993 to 2005) were in Hong Kong. MY broad experience base includes: landslide investigation and remedial works design, site characterisation, the design and construction of natural terrain hazard mitigation measures, geological hazard identification and mapping, applied engineering geophysics, design and construction of large earthworks/site formation contracts, design and construction of piling works and, deep basement design in the urban environment. I have authored and co-authored papers on the subjects of landslide investigation, natural terrain mitigation, geological hazard identification, rock slope stability for landfill engineering and engineering geophysics.

I joined the staff at the University of Portsmouth in September 2005. My wealth of practical experience compliments the applied earth science pathways at the University and I am actively involved in research, consultancy and course development.
