Geohazards Geoengineering and Georesilience

As the human population expands, so too does the range of interactions that humans have with their environment. Some of these may be pose a hazard to human safety and wellbeing. In other interactions, humans may pose a risk to ecosystems and the environment. Skills, research, and knowledge in the Earth sciences are vital to minimizing the risk of harm. The Geological Society is therefore launching a multi-year programme in the theme of Geohazards, Geoengineering & Georesilience.

The theme is led by Dr Anna Hicks, supported by Dr Aggie Georgiopoulou and Dr Irene Manzella.
