SHEAR Team

"The biggest asset of SHEAR has been working in interdisciplinary teams. One of the highlights for me was work by the University of Durham, who as part of urgent grants after the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, strengthened the understanding on progression of landslide risk. This research created new datasets helping inform resettlement of vulnerable households to safe areas and financial support for reconstruction for the government of Nepal."
