Geohazards

In addition to a range of research related to the climate crisis, our faculty also study specific geohzards. For example Daniel Horton and his research group have investigated connections between landslides and rainfall, and Suzan van der Lee and her research group have investigated faulting mechanisms and rupture patterns of earthquakes to assess implications for future earthquakes. They also investigated dynamically triggered earthquakes and subsurface structure. Human activity  is exacerbating existing geohazards in a multitude of ways that we do not fully comprehend.
