(GI-OBTIER)
Research Group on Earth Observation, Geohazards and Climate Change
Code: 131200
Scientific Vice Direction
Summary
In the framework of the Department of Geohazards and Climate Change, the OBTIER research group was created in July 2021 and currently has 17 members, including scientific and technical staff, as well as young people with contracts linked to competitive research projects.
This group was one of the most relevant milestones of the last 5 years with the publication of the "Global Subsidence Map" in the journal Science. Linked to Initiative 9 of the Strategic Plan, where the IGME aims to promote lines of research aimed at Protecting the Planet, this group aims to strengthen research on Climate Change, leading national and international projects on the subject, especially in the lines that investigate the effects and impacts of Climate Change, as well as adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Working areas
Among the geohazards that OBTIER incorporates into its lines of research are:
- Earthquakes,
- Tsunamis,
- Landslides,
- Land subsidence,
- Volcanic eruptions,
- Droughts and floods.
Research and technical lines
- Geology applied to hazard studies/Geohazard assessment and communication
- Characterisation, analysis, monitoring, modelling and prediction of geohazards
Competences and abilities
- Territorial and specific analysis of seismic hazard/
- Geomechanical numerical modelling
- Data mining or exploitation with advanced statistical techniques
- Application of remote-sensing techniques to Earth observation and geological hazards
- New techniques and methodologies applied to rockfalls
