Landslide Geo-education & Risk (LaGER) – the First International Joint
Workshop of JTC1 & JTC3

Welcome to the First International Joint Workshop of Joint Technical Committee 1 and Joint Technical Committee 3 on Landslide Risk Assessment,Communication and Geo-education. We will share the latest research and develop best practice guidelines in the stunning New Zealand city of Queenstown.

Our theme “Landslide Geo-Education and Risk” unifies the full lifecycle of landslide risk management. It encompasses the needs to educate the next generation of landslide risk managers, to robustly understand landslide risk, and to communicate that risk to the public and decision makers so that real change is implemented.

This landmark international event unites JTC1 and JTC3 to advance landslide risk assessment, education, communication, and outreach –  creating a unique opportunity for diverse impacts, and will be attended by leading experts from around the world.

The workshop is structured around specific projects through interactive workshop sessions. We will go beyond disseminating knowledge: we will generate new ideas, develop ongoing projects, and create tangible outputs including guidelines and research direction.
