Lima, December 02, 2025.- On Friday, December 12, the webinar “Mobility in High-Slope Waste Dumps: The Role of The Runout Path” will be held. This specialized session will cover key concepts for assessing mobility in flow-slide-type landslides and their impact on operational safety, according to the Organizing Committee of the upcoming international conference Slope Stability 2026 (SS2026).

The session will be led by Marco Arrieta, a geotechnical engineer with vast experience in risk management and in the mechanical behavior of granular materials, recognized for integrating field-ready tools and advanced modeling to support decision-making in mining operations.

This webinar will present the main guidelines of the Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP), underscoring its importance in strengthening geotechnical management and ensuring safe operations in high-slope waste dumps.

The webinar will offer a practical and updated perspective on how runout path geometry can influence the mobility of events in waste dumps, and will demonstrate how these parameters can be translated into improved operational controls, exclusion zones, and timely response criteria.

Marco Arrieta is a geotechnical engineer specializing in risk management and in the mechanical behavior of granular materials, with an emphasis on predicting mobility in flow-slide-type landslides in waste dumps. His work integrates field-ready tools with advanced 3D modeling to turn designs and model outputs into clear operational controls for open-pit mining operations. 

Who Should Attend?

The webinar is intended for geotechnical teams, operations leaders, mine dispatch, safety personnel, planning/geology teams, and any professional responsible for turning designs and model outputs into day-to-day operational controls.

It will be held at 7:00 p.m. and livestreamed on the official Slope Stability accounts on YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. Attendance is free with prior registration on the Zoom platform through this link: https://bit.ly/4ihKVXc.
