It emphasizes the need for detailed geohazard analysis, modelling, and forecasting to reduce the impacts of extreme events. An interdisciplinary approach to hazard mitigation is presented, with topics such as hazard and risk associated with earthquakes, vulnerability assessment for landslides and avalanches, tsunami risk assessment, early warning systems, climate change risk modelling, and risk communication. The book attracts a vast audience working to advance disaster science and facilitates the acquisition of policy-relevant knowledge for risk reduction. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 193 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27 August 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Verlag, Singapore\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeohazards are a significant threat to human life and property, and their impacts are increasing due to growing vulnerability and exposure. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of diverse aspects of geohazards, including hazard and risk associated with earthquakes, vulnerability assessment for landslides and avalanches, the assessment of tsunami risk in coastal regions, the implementation of early warning systems to prevent catastrophic consequences, climate change risk modelling and risk communication. An interdisciplinary approach to hazard mitigation provides an advanced tool for risk reduction, and the book summarizes recent modelling and analysis techniques for hazard assessment and risk mitigation. Topics discussed in the book include hazard and risk associated with earthquakes, vulnerability assessment for landslides and avalanches, the assessment of tsunami risk in coastal regions, the implementation of early warning systems to prevent catastrophic consequences, climate change risk modelling and risk communication. The convergent approach with the aspects of natural, engineering, and social sciences attracts a vast audience working to advance disaster science. This book also significantly facilitates the acquisition of policy-relevant knowledge for risk reduction, which is beneficial to the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789819939541\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45836240716026,"sku":"9789819939541","price":91.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1714159929797_book.jpg?v=1714510790","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/geohazards-analysis-modelling-and-forecasting-9789819939541","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
