credit to be carried.
GEOG 4150 Geog of Hazards & Disasters
3 cr.
Recommended: Geography 1600. Students are introduced to the
geographic study of natural hazards, technological hazards, and
disasters. Special emphasis will be given to the spatial patterns
and mapping science of both the risk and impact of each type of
environmental hazard. Additionally, students will explore the geographic
context of creating and managing environmental hazards,
contemporary efforts to seek “all-hazards” solutions to the management
of environmental hazards and disasters, and the multi-scale
(i.e. global, regional, local) challenges presented by environmental
hazards.
