The 12 research papers and two summaries of conference discussion sessions contained in this Theme Issue build upon presentations and dialogue at the Third Johnston–Lavis Colloquium held at University College London in September 2009. The meeting brought together delegates from the UK, Europe and the USA to address the issue of climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards, with a ...

According to EuroGeoSurveys, the European Geological Surveys association, “Geological spatial data and models describe the solid Earth’s surface and subsurface on-shore and off-shore, its nature, structure, properties, dynamics and evolution over time; including its related (geo)resources and (geo) hazards”. This illustrates a modern vision of the core mission that National Geological Surveys h...

Landslides and related mass movement processes actively pose a threat in the Gerecse Hills (Hungary, Transdanubian Range) by endangering residential agricultural areas. Several closed or abandoned mining sites waste deposits are also located area. Most of these have not been fully remediated, which makes their surroundings dangerous unsuitable for other use. A multi-hazard map (1: 60,000) was p...

This research stream is focussed on offshore hazards, with particular attention to the mobility of the seabed – whether through large scale geological events, or local scale sediment transport processes. This report is divided into two broad areas. We have extensive activity to report on the subject of seabed mobility, through studies around the O-Tube program (see also the separate report on t...
