Georisks and Global Change

Georisks and Global Change

Challenge coordinator: Arnau Folch

Geoscientists involved in this challenge contribute to determine the main geological and environmental risks, particularly those derived from extreme events (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, large-scale landslides, tsunamis, droughts and floods etc)and to decision-making through a risk management framework designed to examine technical and social issues related to sustainability.

Our research focuses on:

Experimental and mathematical modelling of environmental and geological risk processes.
Development of specific methodologies to evaluate hazard, vulnerability and risk management.
Development of predictive scenarios for multi-hazard and cascade effect
The multidisciplinary characterization of the geological record for the reconstruction of climatic oscillations and environmental fluctuations of the past as analogues for near-future global changes.
Assessment of the geological and environmental risks associated with climate change.
Risk assessments related to anthropic activities (induced seismicity, stability and subsidence of the terrain, occupation and modification of river courses, etc.) using geological and geophysical tools.
