Bio: My name is Moadat Hussain, and I hold a B.Sc. in Geology from Karakoram International University, Gilgit. My research mainly focuses on slope stability and landslide hazards, with special interest in the Humarri landslide in Nagar.
During my thesis, I conducted fieldwork and laboratory testing (moisture content, grain size, Atterberg limits, UCS, and shear strength) to understand soil behavior and slope instability. I also explored both traditional methods (Limit Equilibrium Models) and advanced techniques (Finite Element Analysis) to assess slope safety.
My interests include geotechnical analysis, seismic slope stability, hydrology, and climate impacts on landslides, along with using GIS and remote sensing for hazard mapping.
I aim to contribute to safer land-use planning, early warning systems, and risk reduction strategies for landslide-prone communities.
Abstract
Landslides are dangerous natural events that can cause serious damage to buildings and put lives at risk, especially in areas with complex ground conditions. It is important to understand and manage slope stability. The focus of the review is on the challenges in the Humarri region. The techniques covered are traditional, like the limit equilibrium method, and newer ones, like finite element analysis. Slope stability can be affected by factors like soil properties and water content. It stresses the importance of combining real-world data with advanced modeling for more accurate predictions, as it looks at recent advances in stabilization methods. The goal of this review is to encourage more in-depth studies that take into account geological, hydrological, and soil related factors in order to improve safety in landslide prone areas.

They study only focuses on one site. it comparison with other landslides and make its categories would enhance you research quality. Any way, this is a good effort, keep it up in Future.
