• This course focuses on the physical processes that generate natural hazards through an advanced understanding of geological processes, mechanical behaviour of geological materials, field recognition and mapping of hazards, catastrophe modeling, quantitative hazard modeling, and risk assessment techniques.
  • Students will be trained by experts in hazard identification, terrain evaluation, hazard modeling and risk assessment techniques. They will also learn to manage the impact of floods, earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, coastal erosion and climate change.
  • Students will understand how to monitor, warn against and help control the consequences of natural hazards.
  • Students graduate, they will have the vocational skills they need to work in the specialist hazard field – making them an attractive candidate for government agencies and specialist insurance, flood risk and geoscience companies.
