Course description
This Course describes where and how interacting environmental and social systems create distinctive landscapes, regions and places at risk from environmental hazards. Determinants of community exposure, risk and resilience to hazards are identified and analysed from a geographical perspective, as are society's attempts to manage and adapt to hazards.
