In this module, you will learn about the science underpinning the occurrence, development and monitoring of the major geophysical and geomedical hazards, such as

• earthquakes;
• volcanic eruptions;
• tsunamis; and
• radon gas emission.

We adopt a hands-on approach is used throughout. You will:

• examine datasets and discuss disaster management strategies from past global hazardous events;
• apply their knowledge from examining past events to forecasting and managing hypothetical events in scenario-based exercises; and
• undertake a fieldwork-based exercise to examine scientific monitoring in a multi-hazard European setting.
