About Our Research

Understanding and mitigating geological hazards in vulnerable regions

The Challenge

Subduction zones are responsible for major geohazards, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and landslides, posing significant risks to populated areas. The recycling of oceanic plates in the mantle drives geological processes, including magma migration and volcanic activity, which attract human settlements and development. Despite their potential impact, understanding these hazards and finding effective strategies for risk reduction remains challenging.

Our Mission

This research project aims to bring together experts from diverse fields to not only improve our understanding of hazards and develop advanced monitoring tools, but also to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and practical action. The ultimate goal is to empower public authorities and communities to make informed decisions and take appropriate measures to mitigate the risks posed by these geohazards. By doing so, we seek to enhance the safety and resilience of populations in regions vulnerable to natural disasters.

A Project on:

Volcano observatories, eruption forecasting, hazard assessment, volcano monitoring earthquakes, seismic cycle, subduction zone, disaster risk management, adaptation, vulnerability, risk mitigation

Work Packages

The LMI-SIR Project is divided into five main Work Packages

Work Package 1

Assess the status of risk management in Indonesia, with a focus on the multi-hazard approach. Identify causal chains leading to secondary disasters and their impacts on human and socio-economic aspects.

work package 2

Understand past and present volcanic, seismic, and tsunami activities in Indonesia for better hazard assessment and operational monitoring.

work package 3

Investigate how people adapt to risky environments and how their exposure to risk influences risk perception. Explore the impact of adaptation on people`s response to policies, such as protection and disaster risk reduction measures.

work package 4

Identify factors that hinder efficient disaster risk reduction in multi-risk scenarios, considering technical, cultural, organizational, and communicational aspects. Improve the integration of scientific knowledge into decision-making processes.
