ICGdR Young Scientist Workshop on geological disasters control and risk reduction

—Towards geological disasters control and risk reduction

May 20-21, 2022

Tsinghua University, Beijing, China

1. Background

With the continuous development of society, the disturbance of human activities to the environment is increasing, which result in more and more frequent geological disasters. Geological disaster including landslide, debris flow, land subsidence and so on (Fig.1), once induced, will pose immediate threats to lives of residents and lead to large socio-economic losses in the affected areas.

In order to inspire the creativity of young scientists, gather diversified talents and coordinate their efforts in promoting geo-disaster reduction for the benefit of human society and the natural environment, the ICGdR Youth Scientist Workshop on geological disasters control and risk reduction will be hosted in Beijing, China during 20-21 May 2022. The workshop will be focusing on the theme of “Towards geological disasters control and risk reduction”, with the aim to provide a platform where youth scientists can present their work and discuss their ideas in the field of geological disasters control and mitigation.

For the sake of better realizing the collision of ideas and views, this workshop has arranged free discussion after each session. Additionally, the uninvited presenters are encouraged to share their research ideas and achievements with a 3 minutes flash talk.
