A progress report of the M141 IPL project is presented. Conceptual and applied analyses bearing on engineering geological, hydrogeological mapping, and zoning of vulnerability to mass wasting were conducted for nearly a 16,000-km2 area of the Jemma River basin, central Ethiopian highlands. Work was aimed at the specific modification of current methodology and its practical field testing, user-oriented information dissemination, and training of Ethiopian staff in geo-hazard assessment. Also, environmental protection studies and water resources management to improve food and sanitary security were provided. An alternative, conceptual energy-process and land unit-oriented and satellite images implementing method was developed to substitute for the inadequacy of information by regular field check and regular inventory of risky phenomena. It is necessary to implement a novel, complex systems paradigm to tackle vulnerability and risks in couplings of nature and human systems. This is discussed together with emphasis on user-oriented communication and building of geo-risk warning and management systems based on bottom-up, contextual approach.
