Geohazards and Disasters: Modelling Scenarios as a Challenge for the Future aims to depict an updated view of the most significant technical-scientific knowledge on the topic of geological risks and related mitigation strategies with a focus on the resilience of anthropic communities, and with an aim to sensitize them towards a prevention approach that is fed through awareness and technical competence. This book fills knowledge gaps by relating on scientific and technical progress for the conscious and sustainable management of risk in a multi-hazard perspective.
This comprehensive resource will be a welcomed by researchers, academicians, graduate and undergraduate students, and professionals in the field of geology, specifically those focused on geohazards and disaster management.
