Course description
Society worldwide often faces the wrath of extreme natural events, leading to significant economic losses, loss of life, and threats to social structures. Predicting these events in terms of their scope, location, timing, and intensity, and mitigating their impacts, is a crucial interdisciplinary challenge at local, national, and global levels. The severity of exogenous natural events like storms, storm surges, and heavy rainfall is on the rise, while endogenous events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions continue to cause varying degrees of damage. The aftermath of these events often triggers complex chains of cascading catastrophes, such as tsunamis and mass movements, which can be equally devastating. The interdisciplinary Master's degree program in Engineering Geohazards (EGH) bridges natural sciences, engineering, and economics. Over four semesters, students gain a solid geoscientific foundation to understand the complex impacts of natural hazards and evaluate their societal consequences. A key component of this program is the responsible development and design of engineering protection measures to safeguard lives from natural disasters. Additionally, the curriculum equips students with skills for sustainable preparation and rehabilitation of habitats, balancing disaster prevention, economics, and ecology, as disaster management incurs high costs.
