Climate Forcing of Geological and Geomorphologcal Hazards The ABU Hazard Research Centre (University College London) is hosting a major scientific conference in September 2009, which will address the relationships between past and contemporary climate change and the triggering of hazardous geological and geomorphological phenomena, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and submarine and subaerial landslides. The Third Johnston-Lavis Colloquium, on the theme of Climate Forcing of Geological and Geomorphological Hazards, will take place at UCL from 15 - 17 September 2009, and is supported by UCL, Oxford University, the Met Office, the British Geological Survey and the British Antarctic Survey. The four conference sessions are as follows: Past climate change and geological and geomorphological hazards Feedback effects and climate modification Short time-scale environmental drivers of geological and geomorphological hazards Climate change forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards Abstract and early-bird registration deadline are both 6 July 2009.
