"The aim of this course is to enhance the student’s understanding of the physical processes that cause natural hazards, the methods and the physically-based modelling approaches for hazard analysis, to the point at which students are able to use them with their own data. As the processes of selected natural hazards, including flooding, landslides and earthquakes, are explained, the students will be introduced to fundamentals of the underpinning science and engineering. Model data requirements and data collection will be treated, as well as the evaluation of uncertainty of input data on simulation outputs. Modelling principles and assumptions, possibilities and limitations will be discussed with the aim that students can make a proper selection of models for a given situation and critically reflect on the results, in order to support hazard analysis as input to risk management and mitigation. "@en .

"Understanding urban dynamics and urban growth is crucial for strategic long-term planning of infrastructure, economic development, environmental sustainability, social equity and overall urban resilience. At its core, the interaction between land use and transportation plays a pivotal role in shaping urban dynamics, and such interactions and dynamics can be most efficiently understood by modelling.\nModelling urban dynamics and growth involves the use of various theoretical frameworks that captures transportation infrastructure affects land use patterns and vice versa. In this course, the students will not only be introduced with theories about land use and transportation interactions, but also knowledges and techniques of implementing models that encodes the interactions quantitatively. Several modelling frameworks (to be specified) will be introduced to simulate travel decisions and behaviours, mobility and accessibility, land use land cover changes. On top of developing the modelling capacity, the students will also be trained to assess and interpret the modelled scenarios, so that to link the modelling into the practical context of urban planning and policy making."@en .
