Since its inception, COMET has always been at the forefront of combining satellite, seismological, and fieldwork observations with numerical models to address major questions regarding tectonics and seismic hazards.
We have an established track record of producing scientific advances as part of multidisciplinary studies that break new ground where single-topic projects fail to advance. For examples, see our projects and collaborations.
Many of our scientific advances are built upon the results of our underpinning National Capability science programme in EO Data and Services. A recent COMET study, for example, used InSAR to image the rate of ground movement, and strain accumulation on major faults, across the entirety of the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau.
It is our commitment to advancing knowledge through high-impact academic research that places us in the expert and well-knowledgeable position to be able to provide expert advice regarding earthquakes and tectonics.
