Climate and Geohazards Services is an interdisciplinary group at the University of Leeds focused on climate, geohazards and their impact on society. As our climate changes and human and economic losses from natural disasters continue to rise, there is an ever increasing need to understand the driving processes and impacts of extreme events and climatic variation. The University of Leeds is a centre of research excellence for climate and natural hazards.
The CGS group brings together researchers across many disciplines with expertise in understanding hazards and risk reduction. Our aim is to maximise the impact of our research, by translating it into real benefits for end users in government, industry and non-governmental organisations.
