We are pleased to share an upcoming Masterclass organized by UNI-FIGMM, bringing together academic expertise and practical experience in disaster risk reduction and engineering geology.

Our President, Dr. Sandra Villacorta, will represent the Peruvian Group of IAEG as keynote speaker, presenting:

“Debris Flow Disaster Prevention in Peru: From Japanese Sabo Technology to Nature-Based Solutions in Rayos de Sol (Chosica)”

The Masterclass will explore how lessons from Japan’s Sabo technology can be combined with innovative Nature-Based Solutions to strengthen debris-flow risk reduction in Peru.

📅 September 4, 2026 🕖 7:00 PM (Peru Time) 💻 Google Meet – link to register here.

Moderator: MSc. Ruth Norabuena, Professor at UNI-FIGMM

Organized by UNI-FIGMM, with the support of the Peruvian Group of IAEG, ISRM and IUGS-COGE.
