Inhalt:

Natural disasters are occasional intense events that disturb Earth's surface, but their impact can be felt long after. Hazard events such as earthquakes, volcanos, drought, and storms can trigger a catastrophic reshaping of the landscape through the erosion, transport, and deposition of different kinds of materials. Geomorphology and Natural Hazards: Understanding Landscape Change for Disaster Mitigation is a graduate level textbook that explores the natural hazards resulting from landscape change and shows how an Earth science perspective can inform hazard mitigation and disaster impact reduction. Volume highlights include: * Definitions of hazards, risks, and disasters * Impact of different natural hazards on Earth surface processes * Geomorphologic insights for hazard assessment and risk mitigation * Models for predicting natural hazards * How human activities have altered 'natural' hazards * Complementarity of geomorphology and engineering to manage threats
