Soil Movement and Conflict Resolution
An independent interdisciplinary group of scientists from Utrecht University is studying the problems surrounding soil movements, such as the earthquakes in Groningen and subsidence in peat meadow areas.
The group looks at soil movement from the perspective of conflict prevention, conflict management and human suffering or damage. These include scientists from geography, law, psychology, ethics and governance.
