History and Background
The development of marine resources (e.g., oil and gas resources, hydrates, polymetallic nodules, rare earths) and energy (e.g., wind power, tidal energy, wave energy) and the protection of marine geo-environment are global hot topics, and these activities inevitably require corresponding engineering construction, of which marine geo-disaster assessment and geo-environment monitoring are receiving increasing attention from the academic and industrial communities. Marine geo-disasters refer to geological events that occur in shoreline and estuarine areas, as well as the continental shelf and deep sea, and examples of such hazards include earthquakes, seabed instabilities, liquefaction, submarine landslides, and consequent tsunamis, coastal erosion, port and channel siltation, seawater intrusion, etc. Marine geo-disasters are nurtured in the marine geological environment that includes the hydrodynamic environment, sedimentary environment and engineering geological conditions. With the frequent occurrence of global extreme weather events and large-scale engineering construction, the marine geological environment continues to deteriorate, and the frequency and scale of marine geo-disasters have increased, causing a large number of casualties, huge economic losses and damage to engineering facilities. Therefore, it is urgent to build a global communicating platform for academic and industrial communities to jointly ensure the development of marine geo-disaster assessment and geo-environment related undertakings, direct the development of marine resources and energy, and strengthen the awareness of global geo-environment protection.
Aims and Perspectives
Therefore, based on the above-mentioned demands, it is urgent to establish a committee on Marine Geo-disaster and Geo-environment within ICGdR (International Consortium on Geo-disaster Reduction). The main objectives of this committee are to: (1) develop in-situ monitoring and investigating technologies and means for marine geo-disasters, geo-environment and hydrodynamic environment; (2) design and develop advanced laboratory unit and model experiment technologies to reveal the triggering mechanisms and quantitative parameters of marine geo-disasters and geo-environment; (3) establish efficient numerical simulation methods to predict the spatial and temporal development of marine geo-disasters and geo-environment; (4) commit to the fusion and analysis of massive data and the interactive development of virtual reality to serve the assessment and early warning for marine geo-disasters; (5) provide the best scheme for the prevention and control of marine geo-disasters. The committee also encourages all participants to facilitate tight cooperation between international organizations, global stakeholders, local and regional governments, universities and scientific academies, and advanced enterprises.
