Hazards

Understand what can go wrong underfoot

SSRI looks at three kinds of ground trouble — explained in everyday words, so anyone can follow along.

  • Landslide
  • Sinkhole
  • Settling
Steep mountain ridges where slopes can fail

Ground settling

When land slowly sinks — from soft soils, water pumping, or old mining — buildings and roads can crack over time.

  • Stress in green cover near towns
  • Valley and relief patterns
  • Density clues from gravity maps

Output: A settling score with a clear confidence range.

Landslides

Steep or wet slopes can move after heavy rain. SSRI highlights hillsides that need a closer look.

  • How steep and curved the slope is
  • Where water tends to gather
  • Soil and rock surface clues

Output: A map of landslide chance across the area.

Soft, wet ground

Some soils can lose strength when shaken or saturated — especially low, wet places near rivers and coasts.

  • Low elevation and drainage patterns
  • Surface moisture signatures
  • Sediment thickness clues

Output: A soft-ground potential index for planning talks.
