Modiwl DXX-2008:
Geohazards, Disasters and Mitigation

Ffeithiau’r Modiwl

Rhedir gan School of Natural Sciences

20.000 Credydau neu 10.000 Credyd ECTS

Semester1

Trefnydd: Dr Lynda Yorke

Amcanion cyffredinol

Geohazards are omnipresent in our World and are an ever-present threat to our economic and social well-being. Understanding Geohazards requires an interdisciplinary approach because the subject lies at the nexus of natural and social sciences. The module will draw upon interdisciplinary research to explore the key concepts of hazard, risk, vulnerability, and resilience. The module will explore the mechanisms of key hazards (geophysical, hydrometeorological) through a series of case studies, alongside the impacts and physical mitigation of those hazards. The module will provide a critical examination of the historic and contemporary approaches to monitoring, preparedness, and governance. The module will discuss communication and disaster risk reduction strategies, examining the publics perceptions and attitudes to risk and hazard management. Students will be encouraged to critically engage with the materials, and to develop solutions-based approaches to future environmental hazards and risks.

Cynnwys cwrs

  • History and development of disaster studies in Geography
  • Vulnerability, Resilience, and Risk
  • Disaster Effects and Impacts
  • Types of Hazards and Case Studies
  • Mitigation and Preparedness
