Geohazards are the result of geomorphological, geological and/or geophysical processes that pose risks to the environment and society. The seminar introduces different types of geohazards (e.g., landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis), along with their processes, dynamics, and timescales. Extreme events will be discussed from around the world, whilst the seminar also emphasizes examples of geohazards from Germany. The seminar will also cover risk assessments and mitigation strategies. Students will be lead through the different themes through interactive lectures, student oral presentations and group discussions.
