Research activities

Our research covers a range of hazards and commonly used computational, statistical and field based studies to better understand fundamental processes.

At the same time, we have cross-cutting themes of managing uncertainty, risk assessment and societal relevance which often involve the co-production of outputs with end-users. 

Our group investigates flooding and surface processes likely to be exacerbated by climate change.

We interrogate and develop physically based statistical methods for forecasting the evolution of seismicity in both tectonic and volcanic settings.

This strand investigates earthquakes to better understand geological activity and devise ways of making buildings safer with seismic engineering.
