Earth Observation, Georisks and Climate Change (GI-OBTIER)

Within the Department of Geological Hazards and Climate Change, the OBTIER research group was created in July 2021 and currently has 22 members, including staff from the scientific and technical scale, as well as young people on contracts linked to competitive research projects. The main objective of the group is to provide society with scientific information, methods, tools and solutions to mitigate the impact of geohazards and the effects derived from Climate Change. Among the geological hazards that OBTIER incorporates in its research lines are the following: earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, land subsidence, volcanic eruptions, droughts and floods. This research group is an active member of the Earth Observation Group of EuroGeoSurveys and of the Expert Group on Geological Hazards of the Association of Geological and Mining Services of Iberoamerica (ASGMI).
