The IGOS Geohazards Theme report (Marsh et al., 2004) is the basic reference document on which the GHCP builts. This report comprehensively addresses the observational requirements resutling from key applications concerning the societal impact of geohazards, such as the mapping of geohazards, the assessment of risks resulting from geohazards, raising the awareness, and monitoring hazardous areas and providing timely warnings.

The Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS) Partnership Process provided the basis for the development of all IGOS Themes. The high requirements for endoresement of these Theme reports by IGOS-P lend high credibility to the reports.
