Scope/Description:

Georisk covers many diversified but interlinked areas of active research and practice such as geohazards earthquakes landslides avalanches rockfalls tsunamis etc. safety of engineered systems dams buildings offshore structures lifelines etc. environmental risk seismic risk reliabilitybased design and code calibration geostatistics decision analyses structural reliability maintenance and life cycle performance risk and vulnerability hazard mapping loss assessment economic social environmental etc. GIS databases remote sensing and many other related disciplines.The underlying theme is that uncertainties associated with geomaterials soils rocks geologic processes and possible subsequent treatments are usually large and complex and these uncertainties play an indispensable role in the risk assessment and management of engineered and natural systems. Significant theoretical and practical challenges remain on quantifying these uncertainties and developing defensible risk management methodologies that are acceptable to decision makers and stakeholders. Many opportunities to leverage on the rapid advancement in Bayesian analysis machine learning artificial intelligence and other datadriven methods also exist which can greatly enhance our decisionmaking abilities.The basic goal of this international peerreviewed journal is to provide a multidisciplinary scientific forum for cross fertilization of ideas between interested parties working on various aspects of georisk to advance the stateoftheart and the stateofthepractice.
