The landslides team at the BGS has studied numerous landslides. This work informs our geological maps, memoirs and sheet explanations and provides data for our National Landslide Database, which underpins much of our research.
People are exposed to potentially harmful elements in soil and dust during everyday activities, such as gardening, and from dust inhalation.
Data modelling is an important part of the wider research around the environment and human health.
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are perhaps the most hazardous events to local areas during explosive volcanic eruptions.
Identifying communities that are particularly vulnerable to future earthquake hazards.
Our work in Ethiopia to improve understanding of the seismic situation in order to characterise hazard and risk.
Monitoring and modelling landslide activity at BGS's coastal landslide observatory at Aldbrough, on the East Riding of Yorkshire coast.
Accurately monitoring and eventually predicting landslide movement through scientific research.
