Education Research Projects Tools Staff PhD Students Visiting Scientists

We combine earth scientific knowledge with dynamic modelling and advanced remote sensing, to analyse earth systems and processes in space and time. Our goal is to address global challenges concerning future demands for earth resources, and to help reduce disaster risk and the impact of natural hazards on communities living in changing environments.

AES Research Themes

Hazard, risk and resilience

We use a range of techniques and tools to study natural hazards, such as floods, landslides and volcanic eruptions. We study how dynamic risk of interacting natural hazards can be quantified for improved decision making in disaster risk reduction and support post-disaster recovery.

Raw materials and the energy transition

We use remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS) and computational modelling to map and assist exploration of critical raw materials and geothermal resources.

Remote and proximal sensing

We study earth composition and dynamics through remote sensing (optical, thermal, geophysical) to address the increasing global demand for green energy and critical raw materials. Find out more here
