Course Content
|
This course provides an in-depth exploration of natural hazards, with a focus on understanding their underlying mechanisms, impacts, and the role of climate change in amplifying these events. The course covers key natural hazards, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and landslides, examining their causes, dynamics, and mitigation strategies. Special emphasis is placed on the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather patterns, and their implications for hazard frequency and severity. The course aligns with doctorate level studies by offering a comprehensive analysis of natural hazards, emphasizing their mechanisms, climate change implications, and advanced mitigation strategies, enabling doctoral candidates to contribute to innovative solutions in hazard management and resilience.
