The Regional Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LREC) announces the International Workshop on NATURAL RISKS – NatHaz’25, with the theme “Geotechnical Risks”, to be held on Faial Island (Azores) on 23 and 24 October 2025. In this fourth edition, the workshop will offer a good opportunity for a forum on various issues related to natural hazards, particularly geotechnical hazards and risks. Due to its tectonic and volcanic environment, the Azores region is affected by most of the natural hazards, namely earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, floods, coastal erosion, etc. Therefore, it is the perfect place for professionals in these areas to discuss these problems. It will also be a great opportunity to get to know the local reality with regard to the natural hazards that can affect the island and visit various peculiar geological and volcanic aspects.

In addition, it will be an excellent occasion to enjoy the beautiful landscape of Faial Island. The beauty provided by the volcanic nature of the Azores islands, their geographical, cultural and gastronomic specificities and the hospitality of the Azorean people, can also be a good justification to combine technical and scientific interest with touristic aspects and take advantage of this excellent opportunity to visit the island. Known as Blue Island, Faial is a volcanic island that includes four geomorphological units: (1) Central Volcano, (2) Graben do Pedro Miguel, (3) Platform of Horta and (4) Capelo Peninsula. The magnificent bay of Horta (the capital) is a crossroads in the Atlantic, attracting sailboats from all over the world. It also offers a privileged view of Pico mountain. It was on this island that the last volcanic eruption on land took place in the Azores — the Capelinhos Volcano (1957-1958). |
