Explore soil creep phenomena through a statistical mechanics lens in this 52-minute lecture by Eduardo Jagla from Instituto Balseiro, Argentina, presented at the II Brazilian Workshop on Soft Matter (April 7-11, 2025) organized by ICTP-SAIFR. Gain insights into how statistical mechanics principles can be applied to understand the slow, continuous movement of soil down slopes, offering a theoretical framework for this important geophysical process. The talk bridges concepts from physics and earth sciences to explain the mechanisms behind soil creep behavior.
