Research and development
RGSL is committed to research and development to support consultancy work in glacial hazards. Recent and current undertakings by the team include a DFID-funded knowledge and research project – “Development of Glacial Hazard and Risk Minimisation Protocols in Rural Environments” – and a KTP research programme in collaboration with the University of Wales in Aberystwyth, UK, to improve remote-sensing techniques for glacial hazard assessment.
Our research is backed by publications in international, peer-reviewed journals and specialist volumes.
We aim to promote international and inter-institutional collaboration, and have formal or informal links with organisations including:
- BGR, Germany
- Unit of Glaciology and Hydrological Resources, INRENA, Peru
- Department of Geography, University of St. Andrews, UK
- Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of Wales in Aberystwyth, UK
- Glaciology and Geomorphodynamics Group, University of Zurich, Switzerland
