SHEAR around the world
Science for Humanitarian Emergencies and Resilience (SHEAR) is an interdisciplinary, international research programme jointly funded by the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC). It aims to support improved disaster resilience and humanitarian response by advancing monitoring, assessment and prediction of natural hazards and risks across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
The SHEAR programme carried out innovative research, in some of the most hazard-prone parts of the world, to better understand and forecast disasters, and minimize the risk they pose to vulnerable communities. This document outlines the work being carried out by SHEAR projects in different countries. Key resources produced by each project can be found in the SHEAR Knowledge directory.
