Natural disasters

Series: AGU Advanced Textbooks

Natural hazards are present in every part of planet Earth. Sometimes a natural event – such as extreme weather, a volcanic eruption, earthquake or disease outbreak – turns into a disaster for humans, the environment, and the economy.

Earth’s Natural Hazards and Disasters is a textbook for undergraduates that challenges students to think critically about disasters. It explains the science behind natural events and explores how to understand risk and prepare for disasters.

About this volume:

Covers hazards in the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere Explains the science of hazards in accessible terms Detailed case studies of specific disasters for each type of natural event Explores data-based risk mitigation strategies Discusses the roles of scientists, public officials, and the general public in hazard management

The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
