Elizabeth Holcombe is a Senior Lecturer specializing in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Bristol. Her research primarily focuses on dynamic slope hydrology stability modeling, with a particular concentration on urban landslide risk management in humid tropics. Holcombe’s work encompasses developing and applying slope stability and landslide cost models, assessing landslide risk in road networks, and implementing community-based drainage measures to mitigate urban landslide hazards in developing countries. Her wider research interests include disaster risk management, emphasizing decision-making in uncertain environments and promoting community-based approaches to enhance resilience and sustainability. Notably, Holcombe has engaged with the World Bank as a consultant specializing in landslide risk management and co-authored the book 'Community-Based Landslide Risk Reduction' published by the World Bank in 2013. She has also been recognized with the Institution of Civil Engineers Trevithick Prize in 2007 for her work on MoSSaiC methodology in landslide risk assessment. Elizabeth actively participates in various research groups, including the Urban Research Cluster and the Cabot Institute for Natural Hazards and Disasters Research.
