The Edinburgh Geohazards research group brings together expertise in natural hazards from across the University of Edinburgh in conjunction with partners such as the British Geological Survey. We are interested in where communities, infrastructure, and/or resource management combine with natural processes in the Earth to generate potential risk. We are also interested where societal, technological, and engineering interventions can reduce the impact of severe environmental events. The core of our work is presented through our research and includes our expertise in seismic, volcanic, flood and landslide hazards, including those induced or exacerbated by human activity. Our researchers collaborate broadly with engineers, mathematicians, and social scientists to place our work in a wider context. Our interests are in advancing the fundamental science and working together with end-users at an early stage to maximise the impact of our research. Our people Our research is thanks to the hard work of the people in this group.

These will be links to research case studies that are/will be in the "Featured Research" section. This could be research that members of your group are most proud of, feel like it reflects best on the range of research undertaken, or would be most attractive to prospective research students. ] This article was published on 2025-07-15
