The group carries out multidisciplinary research aimed at gaining a holistic understanding of all contemporary physical processes that occur at or beneath the seafloor, including the anthropic influence on these processes, and those that occurred in the geological past. The group research addresses applied and fundamental aspects related to offshore geohazards such as submarine landslides, faulting and tsunamis derived from both processes, continental margin hydrogeology, glacial geomorphology and sedimentology as well as continental margin stratigraphic architecture. These topics cover the disciplines and tools of geology, geophysics, soil mechanics and hydrogeology. The LS3GP has ample experience in 1) marine field data acquisition, 2) laboratory and numerical methods and 3) data interpretation.
