Geomorphology and Active Tectonics Research (GEAR) Laboratory


About

We are a young group of researchers at the National Institute of Geological Sciences – University of the Philippines whose research interests include: 

  1. landforms and their evolution, 
  2. surface processes and their impacts; and 
  3. the application of geospatial techniques in modelling surface processes and hazards.
