Geological Extreme Events and Heritage (GEE&H)

The analysis of extreme geological events and the proposal of mitigation measures to prevent the concomitant hazard effects, especially on the natural and cultural heritage, are addressed from the IGME-CSIC research group on “Geological extreme events and Heritage”, by applying pioneer and innovative methodological approaches, including: geology applied to emergency situations; earthquake geology and archaeo-seismology; geological hazard assessment in volcanic islands; cataloguing and surveying mass movements; flood and paleo-flood hydrology and geomorphology; characterization and observation of geological events through UAS; education and training on geological hazard; and citizen science. The main results achieved by the group components, along the last five years (2017-2021), amount to 400 high quality publications and the involvement in more than one hundred scientific projects (leading twenty of them); and to many contributions in congresses and conferences.
