The course will familiarize students with basic geological processes commonly occurring on the globe, which consequences are events specified by the man as disastrous. |
Full description: |
Disasters in geology took on and take on different scales of phenomena. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, marine transgressions, floods and marine abrasion, mudflows, landslides on land and sea and the great extinction that some of them which still affect the image of today's environment. From a geological point of view, it's normal processes but from the human, the untamed natural disasters, which implies different social and economic phenomena. The course will familiarize students with basic geological processes commonly occurring on the globe, which consequence are events specified by the man as disastrous. During the lecture, students will be familiarized with problems to anticipate, prevent and mitigate disasters associated with rapid geological processes. |
