An international team of scientists have shown how climate change could have enabled the migration of Homo sapiens around 60 000 years ago.
The potential for collapsible ground to be a hazard has been assessed using 1:50 000 scale digital maps of superficial deposits.
The potential for running sand to be a hazard has been assessed using 1:50 000-scale digital maps of superficial and bedrock deposits.
Ground dissolution occurs when water passing through soluble rocks produces underground cavities and cave systems. These cavities reduce support to the ground above and can cause localised collapse of the overlying rocks and deposits.
In remembrance, Prof David Tappin discusses the importance of tsunami anniversaries
