GEOG300 Natural Hazards

10 cp
Prerequisites GEOG100 Foundations of Physical Geography
Teaching Organisation 3 hours per week for twelve weeks or equivalent.

This course begins with an overview of natural hazards. We discuss risk and vulnerability as we sharpen our ideas of what a natural hazard actually is. We then address one major hazard category per week and consider the physical (or biological) basis of the hazard, its impact on humans, and human responses to the hazard in question.
