Serge Leroueil is a professor in the Civil Engineering Department of Université Laval, Quebec, Canada and an expert on landslide mechanisms. His research interests include soil behaviour, soil viscosity, soil compaction, soft sediments, in-situ testing, embankments on soft clays and cuts and natural slopes. Serge gave the Rankine Lecture upon the invitation of the British Geotechnical Society and is a Fellow of the Academy of Science of the Royal Society of Canada; he has moreover been awarded several prestigious prices. Luciano Picarelli is a professor in the Civil Engineering Department of the Seconda Università di Napoli, Director of the Research Center in Environmental Engineering, C.I.R.I.AM. Luciano's research interests focus on soil mechanics, soil deterioration, soil-structure interaction, geotechnical issues in road construction, tunnelling in clay, cut and slope stability and landslide risk mitigation. He is member of the Scientific Committee and Scientific Consultant for the Hydrogeologic Risk Area in the Competence Center A.M.R.A. (Analysis and Monitoring of Environmental Risks) in Naples.
