Geohazards

Getting ahead of geohazards

Geohazards are geological and geomorphological processes, phenomena, or conditions that may pose a threat to the safety and well-being of communities, infrastructure, property, and the environment.

Landslides, floods, subsidence, and coastal erosion are common geohazards that affect millions of people around the world every year. Your communities rely on the safe and environmentally sound development of natural resources, and these hazards make that process more challenging.

Our experts are dedicated to reducing impacts, preserving critical infrastructure, safeguarding the environment, and educating communities around the world.

Connect with one of our global geohazard specialists to learn how we can help you with your next project.
