The Land Subsidence Workshop (13-14 November 2025) organised by LASII (UNESCO working group), GSEU project of EuroGeoSurveys and hosted by the Geological Survey of Belgium (RBINS/GSB) has been a success allowing more than 60 scientists from all around Europe to discuss and present case studies areas in several European countries.
Why a workshop on Land Susbidence ?
- Land subsidence requires adaptation strategies (worst case)
- Land subsidence requires mitigation strategies (intermediate case)
- Land subsidence requires prevention strategies (best case).
It needs a properly planned approach based on scientific knowledge and data availability.
The aims of the workshop are:
- disseminating the state-of-the-art of scientific advances regarding understanding the drivers of land subsidence, monitoring subsidence and modelling its processes,
- sharing knowledge on data availability,
- establishing a broad network among European land subsidence experts and delegates of the EGS-network,
- improving the transition of state-of-the-art knowledge on land subsidence into management and planning tools, services and regulations.
The program of the workshop conferences is visible on the LASII webpage.
