Title: Essential Information about Disaster Management for Environmental Hazards
Post by: ariful892 on November 01, 2013, 12:18:26 AM: Disasters are complex events with multifaceted causes and hence disaster management needs comprehensive, multidisciplinary training to deal with both complexity and change.

Major shifts have occurred in the way in which disasters are considered, resulting from an increasing awareness of problems internationally along with an identified need for solutions. The importance of disaster risk reduction has continued to grow both within governmental and non-governmental organisations.

We work with rocks, soils and plants to examine how the landscape we can see today was formed. Processes we can observe today help us to understand and interpret landscapes formed in the past.

The science of geology, different forms of dating, and the historical record all inform our understanding.

Equally, we examine maps and buildings, as well as contemporary and historic documents, to understand human influences on the landscape.

The city of Bradford offers one ‘cultural laboratory’, with a fascinating mix of boom, bust and regeneration.

During your course you will also find out about how the cultural landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales and Mallorca have been formed and examine what is driving further changes today.

We study plants, the air, and the streetscape to think about how our current environment is functioning.

Ecology, chemistry and pollution science combine with sociology and urban studies to explain what is going on outside our front doors.

Measurement and structured observation of physical and social phenomena help us to understand these processes.
