Aim and Objectives

TGSG - A group that summarizes global seafloor geoscientific data and seafloor geohazard risk assessment, assessment methods and capacity development.

The aim of the IUGS Task Group on Submarine Geohazards (TGSG) is to enable a safe and secure society through sustainable offshore energy development in a wide range of geological settings susceptible to submarine geohazards. Crucial to this is to advance our knowledge and understanding of geohazards to manage and mitigate industry identified risks. TGSG will meet its aim by providing a coordinating body to motivate future funded, and unfunded, programmes of work and research. To integrate these programmes, the TGSG has proposed five objectives, listed as O1-O5 below:

Programmes of work and research across the Objectives will ensure successful delivery of key outputs and deliverables listed in D1-D6 below. Each group of O1 to O5 manages its own data collected. D1) A portfolio of submarine geohazards with their impact on marine infrastructure. D2) A global mapping/archive of submarine geological and geophysical data. D3) Guidelines for geological and geophysical surveys for submarine geohazard risk assessment. D4) A submarine geohazard map for sustainable offshore development with bilingual explanation. D5) An active and sustained programme of knowledge exchange activities between academia, industry, and policymakers. D6) A project report, summarizing recommendations to industry and government for global development of offshore renewable energy systems in shallow to deep marine environments.
