This module explores the use of GIS in hazard prediction, assessment and mitigation. You will study a range of hazards including:

• earthquakes;
• volcanic eruption;
• hurricane;
• tsunamis; and
• disease diffusion, epidemics and pandemics.

The module combines analytical techniques (which provide insight into better understanding the triggers for hazards) with a consideration of how hazards can be managed, the aftermath and human dimension.
