interconnectivity within the country, and their adequate performance is a matter of continuous monitoring and_x000D_
maintenance. Transportation infrastructure is exposed to geohazards associated with the varied regions in_x000D_
Canada and the seasonal weather fluctuations in temperature and precipitation. Alberta's mountainous regions,_x000D_
soft ground in the Prairies and steep river valleys contribute to a wide range of geohazards threatening_x000D_
transportation corridors. Geohazards can lead to excessive deformation of infrastructure, collapse or blockage,_x000D_
and excessive loading on structures which may result in substandard conditions, posing risks to users,_x000D_
environment and transported goods. The proposed research will assess geohazard monitoring technologies_x000D_
along transportation corridors in Alberta to develop best practices for implementing monitoring programs., program purpose french : Transportation infrastructure, including roads, pipelines, transmission lines and railways, provide necessary_x000D_
