ICGdR Young Scientist Workshop on Geological Disasters Control and Risk Reduction
-Towards geological disasters control and risk reduction
3rd Announcement
21 May 2022
Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
With the continuous development of society, the disturbance of human activities to the environment is increasing, which resulted in more and more frequent geological disasters. Geological disasters, 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 on 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 invited lecture session. Additionally, the uninvited presenters are encouraged to share their research ideas and achievements with a 3 minutes flash talk.
Towards geological disasters control and risk reduction
Session 1: Formation and evolution mechanism of geological disasters
Session 2: Monitoring and early warning methods of geological disasters
Session 3: Risk assessment and geological disasters control
Due to the Covid-related regulations by local government, the workshop will be organized on-line via Zoom meeting, and there is no registration fee.
