Hazards

Geological hazards

The aim of the CAVERTI project was to develop decision support tools for visualising and communicating risks of soil erosion due to a range of farming practices and conditions and associated risks to infrastructure. An online tool was developed that can be used to minimise risk of soil erosion and address sediment transportation.
