Integrated Services for the Mitigation of Natural Risks (LA8) – C4G -Colaboratório para as Geociências

LA8. Integrated Services for the Mitigation of Natural Risks

Coordinator: Luis Matias, FCUL
Co-coordination: Ricardo Garcia, IGOT
Institutions: FCUL, IGOT, IPMA, UBI, UC

^{Line of action responsible for the development and distribution of integrated products to support the mitigation of natural risks.}

^{Aims to stimulate the integration of the various C4G working groups with services and products (S&P) relevant to the mitigation of natural risks, to compile the existing S&P and to propose new S&P, or their update and development, taking into account the objectives of this line of action.}

Seismic

Landslides and other slope mass movements

Our geoscientific resources on natural risks consist of the following types:
