DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will consider both the gaps in our current kn
 owledge\, and how novel techniques and datasets help bridge these. I will 
 discuss two-way interactions between landslides and glaciers\, improving s
 ummit ice volume estimates at glacierized volcanoes\, and new optical feat
 ure tracking approaches to map slope deformation the scale of mountain ran
 ges. The evolving hazard profile intersects with a growing population and 
 rapidly developing infrastructure networks. As a result\, a cross-discipli
 nary approach is essential to comprehensively analyze and mitigate risk. T
 his talk highlights the significance of addressing these challenges and ex
 plores avenues for future research\, in particular introducing the new Cam
 bridge Complex and Multihazard Research Group (CoMilaz).
