Description
This module aims to provide practical training in monitoring and managing geophysical hazards in a multi-hazard environment. Teaching will be focused around a 7-day field course on S茫o Miguel Island, Azores. Students will learn to identify geophysical hazards and their impacts in the field; become familiar with the geochemical and geophysical techniques used to monitor volcanic, seismic and hydro-meteorological processes, and gain an appreciation of the societal and environmental factors that influence the management of geophysical hazards. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the mechanisms by which multiple hazards can intersect, and how these intersections can generate cascading impacts over a range of spatial and temporal scales. As part of this module, students will have the opportunity to collect, process, analyse and present geochemical monitoring data. Students will integrate their field observations into a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) environment and develop their understanding of quantitative data analysis tools.
