Summer School 2025 – Natural Hazards in the Anthropocene – Adapting to natural hazards under uncertainty
The summer school is co-organized with the Centre of Natural Hazards & Dister Science (CNDS) and co-sponsored by the European Geoscience Union (EGU).
ABOUT:
This international one-week course will gather PhD students in Earth-, Engineering- and Social sciences for an introduction to the dynamics and impacts of natural hazards (e.g., floods, droughts, wildfires and earthquakes) as well as disaster risk management and social vulnerability under the umbrella of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Through lectures, seminars, and group assignments, the course will explore DRR through the disaster management cycle (mitigation, preparation, response and recovery), looking at the interplay between natural hazards and societal impacts and responses, as well as the risk and uncertainty associated with them.
