We study the mechanisms and processes that underpin natural and environmental hazards, including monitoring and forecasting of hazardous events, and strategies to reduce their impacts on society.

We use a variety of scientific techniques including fieldwork, laboratory experiments andÌýcomputer modelling to better understand the mechanisms that underpin and drive natural and environmentalÌýhazards, and explore approaches toÌýimproveÌýcommunity preparedness via effective early warning, risk communication, and improved hazard and risk perception. Through our work, we engage and collaborate withÌýdiverse groups, such as policymakers and non-governmental organisations, through to hazard monitoring institutions and the insurance industry.
