Prevention of landslides in the town of Tetouan
 
 

The region of Tangiers Tetouan has contrasting geology and is distinguished by an active chain of so mountains called the Rif. The mountains and foothills are not only subject to forest fires but also torrential rains which cause many floods and weaken soils exposing them to big landslips that threaten the town and its people. The objective of the campus is to put forward ideas for prototype prevention information tools on the risks of landslides for the local population, and particularly those in rural areas.


Desired skills: Geography, cartography, geology, natural hazards, communication.

Working language: French ­ use of Spanish or Arabic is an advantage.

Partners organisation: Faculty of Sciences of Tetouan, ADEO association.
