Earth Surface Processes
The Earth Surface Processes cluster uses observational and modelling research methods to study surface and near-surface geological, geomorphological, meteorological, and anthropogenic phenomena.
A focus of this group is providing scientific evidence and advice to inform decision-making and solution development in situations where hazardous earth surface processes present risks to natural and built environments.
Our disciplinary expertise includes:
- Earthquakes
- Tectonic geomorphology
- Coastal erosion
- Landslides and other mass movements
- Liquefaction
- Tsunamis
- Flooding
- Sea-level change
- Deforestation and ecosystem change
- Landscape evolution under diverse forcing mechanisms.
We undertake fundamental and applied scientific research with a diverse range of industry, government, academic, and other partners including the United Nations in more than 20 countries across the world.
