"This course focuses on building the required understanding of natural hazards and the available approaches to map them and further predict their occurrence in space and time. This knowledge will be systematically acquired through short theoretical lectures followed by supervised practicals and tutorials that will expose students to the whole conceptual and modeling pipeline, from cloud-based inventory-making to data acquisition and ultimately to susceptibility and hazard assessment. To promote and make a constructive use of the diversity in the background of the students, each step of the course will also feature a peer-learning process where students with different training will share their knowledge to mutually benefit from each respective understanding of the lessons. At the end of each day, interactive quiz will be provided to monitor the growth of each student and provide support where needed. The learning process will be further supported by a group project assignment that will link together the content of the course. In fact, the automated mapping and the modelling techniques will be implemented and critically assessed in terms of their specific limitations and with respect to the final goal (inventory generation and susceptibility/hazard mapping)."@en . . . . . .

This course will focus on the modelling of natural hazards, with an emphasis on hydro-meteorological hazards (floods, landslides and erosion). Starting from the relevant natural phenomena and their causes, the generation of historical inventories of hazardous phenomena will be discussed. From the cloud-based generation of the hazard inventories and their interpretation, the course will expand on the main methods and tools to assess the susceptibility and hazard at different scales. The course will provide the foundation for predictive approaches with a particular focus given to statistical models of multivariate nature. The latter will combine the spatial and temporal dimensions. The use of empirical models will further investigate runout patterns to estimate areas under threat.\n\nThe course runs in parallel to the \"Introduction to Hazard and Risk\" course (Q2.1) where data input for hazard modelling are explained. The two course are closely coupled and part of the necessary knowledge for the \"Data-Driven Hazard modeling\" course will be gained in parallel through lessons and concepts explained in Q2.1."@en .
