Solid Earth ScienceThe surface of the solid Earth is far from static. In the case of phenomena such as volcanoes and earthquakes the dynamism is of large magnitude and complex behaviour and can have significant hazardous impact locally, regionally and globally. Our work in this area is directed to developing new methods of measuring this dynamism and incorporating these measurements into models that can be used to mitigate the resultant hazards. Volcanoes and the risks they pose are the focus for our work. However, the techniques used have wider applicability: to earthquakes, landslides and subsidence. Much of this work is carried out under the National Centre for Earth Observation‘s Theme 6 :"Earth Dynamics and Geohazards", which began in April 2008. Researchers
