Of course, the connections are not all of the same strength, but often we don\u2019t know how strong and over what time scale the connection is. In principle, therefore, we have the ambition to develop a holistic catchment observatory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model for this is drawn in part from the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/criticalzone.org\/national\/\" target=\"_blank\">Critical Zone Observatory<\/a> (CZO) program begun by the US <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Science Foundation<\/a> (NSF) in 2007. The critical aspect of the NSF&#8217;s CZO design is that it brought together all disciplines in earth-surface process (e.g. hydrology, geohydrology, biogeochemistry and geomorphology). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have the ambition to extend this concept further still and, at the same time, to extend the meaning of &#8216;catchment&#8217;. This is particularly important when the driver for an observatory is related to disaster risk reduction (writ large) in less developed countries. Thus, other components that become important are related to human elements: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Where are people moving from when they move into a city? <\/li><li>What infrastructure is being developed or exists that mitigates hazards or, conversely, exacerbates hazards? <\/li><li>What policies exist that mitigate and\/or exacerbate hazards? <\/li><li>How do administrative boundaries that cross physical catchments cause difficulties in planning and\/or responding to hazards?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The BGS is currently setting up a pilot-scale observatory to serve Hanoi, Vietnam, in the context of hazards and resilience to those hazards. Equipment for the pilot observatory was provided by the UK <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nerc.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Natural Environment Research Council<\/a> (NERC). The observatory, now called the Multi-hazard and Resilience Observatory for Hanoi (MROH), is managed jointly by the BGS and the Vietnam Institute for Geosciences and Mineral Resources (VIGMR), within the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment. VIGMR have dedicated lab and office space to the MROH and is coordinating with several Vietnam government agencies to deploy the initial sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to discover more then please contact our <a href=\"mailto:enquiries@bgs.ac.uk\">enquiries team<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<section   id=\"latest-content-1823-block_5e7b0d7d9c15e\" class=\"grid-section  primary-background   \" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row header-of-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>You may also be interested in<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row grid-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-6 col-12\">\n\t<div class=\"cards cards-orizontal-sm  cards-find-more  cards-bordered\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/geology-projects\/urban-geoscience\/\" class=\"media-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_urban_pexels_373893-150x150.jpg\" class=\"lazy-blur wp-post-image\" alt=\"Cityscape by Burst\/Pexels\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_urban_pexels_373893.jpg\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/geology-projects\/urban-geoscience\/\">Urban geoscience<\/a><\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The BGS urban geoscience research group provides solutions for urban land-use planning and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/geology-projects\/urban-geoscience\/\">Show more<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-6 col-12\">\n\t<div class=\"cards cards-orizontal-sm  cards-find-more  cards-bordered\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/geology-projects\/anthropocene\/\" class=\"media-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Anthropocene_Sediment_Feature_Antoine_Giret_Unsplash-150x150.jpg\" class=\"lazy-blur wp-post-image\" alt=\"Anthropocene sediment accumulation\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Anthropocene_Sediment_Feature_Antoine_Giret_Unsplash.jpg\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/geology-projects\/anthropocene\/\">Anthropocene<\/a><\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Anthropocene is a newly proposed geological time-unit, first suggested in the year 2000.
