The aim of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of natural hazards within the broader field of Earth Sciences, together with the associated risks and their societal implications. The course seeks to illustrate analytical frameworks and methodological approaches that can effectively contribute to the mitigation of natural disasters, responding to the environmental challenges of the new millennium.
