GEOG 3180: Hazards and Disasters
University of North Carolina, Charlotte
An introduction to the study of hazards geography, drawing on concepts explored in human geography, explicitly emphasizing how social and behavioral systems (human adaptation, education, response, risk perception, risk communication) come together with physical risk to create disasters. Students learn about these complex processes through place-based case studies of risk. Further, students consider how they might minimize their own risk by making informed decisions about where they live and work.
