Hazard, Risk and Disaster Research Group (HRD)

Description

The Hazard, Risk and Disaster Research Group (HRD) has members that span a wide range of complementary earth and social science sub-disciplines. HRD is engaged in research that both raises visibility, as well as articulates and challenges the complex problems afflicting society and environment.

HRD's key research foci include:

  • Flood event histories, dynamics, impacts and responses in urban and mountain settings
  • Upland sediment system hazard dynamics
  • Climate change, variability and adaptation
  • The diverse field of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), particularly in regard to the Hindu-Kush-Himalayas
  • Geoarchaeology, and allied sedimentary and microfossil palaeoenvironmental analysis

HRD's approaches seek the dissemination of knowledge and delivery of impact by:

  • Embracing a spectrum of disciplinary to interdisciplinary methods, spanning human-environment interactions
  • Encouraging public engagement
  • Promoting collaboration with industrial partners (in research and consultancy) to achieve knowledge of value to society.

HRD applies new-cutting edge technologies in the capture and analysis of data (e.g. terrestrial laser scanning and UAVs), across a range of process environments, societal settings, and heritage assets.
