William C. HanebergAdjunct Professor
Professional SummaryMost of my work— as both a consulting geologist and an adjunct professor— involves earth movements of one kind or another, including landslides, rockslides, debris flows, land subsidence, earth fissures, and other geologic hazards that occur either naturally or as the result of human activities. I also rely on modern tools such as GIS, LiDAR, InSAR, computer simulations, image processing, and digital photogrammetry to solve practical geologic problems in engineering geology, hydrogeology, structural geology, and geomorphology. The lists below contain selected references to some recent papers, books, and abstracts as well as a couple of older papers about Cincinnati landslides. My field experience includes projects throughout the United States (including Cincinnati area landslides), Papua New Guinea, Nepal, and the Indian Himalaya. If you’d like to see some of the places I’ve worked and traveled, you’re welcome to visit my photography web pages at www.billhaneberg.com. Before leaving to establish my consulting practice in 1999, I was Assistant Director and Senior Engineering Geologist with the New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources. I have also worked as a petroleum geologist and held adjunct faculty appointments at New Mexico Tech and Portland State University.
