  • Urban landslideThe School of Geographical Sciences is recognised for developing numerical models of physical processes.
  • CHASM, Combined Hydrology and slope Stability Model (developed by MG Anderson), dynamically simulates rainfall-triggered landslides and provides the scientific basis for risk reduction projects around the world.
  • Collaboration with economists in CMPO (Centre for Market and Public Organisation) – specialists in public service evaluation and delivery – has resulted in a new cross-disciplinary platform for measuring the effectiveness of landslide mitigation in vulnerable urban communities.
