The Centre for Research in Natural Hazards and Risk Reduction at the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ is delighted to host INQUA-CODE 2026, a fully hands on, 5-day residential workshop designed for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers working in tectonics, Quaternary geomorphology, natural hazards, and Earth surface process modelling. 
This intensive training event introduces essential computational and numerical skills for modern surface-process research. Participants will move from core programming and reproducible workflows into high-performance computing, numerical methods, and landscape evolution modelling, supported by expert instructors from across the UK and Europe. All practical sessions will take place in the University’s high-specification laboratories, with additional access to the new Lovelace high-performance computing facility.
With a cohort of approximately 20 participants, the workshop provides an immersive, collaborative environment with dedicated time for peer discussions, networking, and skill-building across disciplines and career stages.
