The implementation of 2 Project Based Learning student projects (PBL) carried out by Silesian University of Technology (SUT PL🇵🇱) with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM MY🇲🇾) and Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan (XU PH🇵🇭) has been completed.

On Friday, March 28, 2025, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing widespread damage and prompting evacuations in Bangkok, Thailand, and tremors were felt in neighboring countries like Laos and Cambodia.

These are the next student carried out in the context of and resulting from the Geomatics Disaster Risk Reduction Project (GeoDRR).This time the topics were: numerical analysis of landslide phenomena in the context of geotechnical aspects of Eurocode 7 (e.g., GeoStudio program, Seequent-Bentley Systems, Exton – USA) and the possibilities of Discrete Synthetic Rock Mass model application for rockfall (e.g., UDEC program, Itasca C.G. – USA). Given the time, distance and opportunities, it was obviously only possible to signal possible solutions to the problems.📈
Nevertheless, the substantive and project scope presented provides a basis for subjects that can be carried out within the framework of Geomatics Disaster Risk Reduction, and can also become a prelude to scientific research.📲💻🖥🖨 Some of the issues taken up in the projects are still waiting for solutions in the world.
Leading the Project were PhD Krzysztof Tomiczek, Assist. Prof. (SUT PL), Assoc. Prof. Hareyani Zabidi (USM MY), PhD Monika Żogała, Assist. Prof. (SUT PL), PhD Katarzyna Szafulera, Asist. Prof. (SUT PL) and MSc Jefferson Jr. Vallente, Lect. (XU PH).
The implementation of projects involving faculty and students from different countries, different specialties and different traditions/concepts of solutions is always a challenge, but it is encouraging to find a certain core around which to build action.
