Geohazards
Geohazards is a field of academic inquiry focused on understanding natural geological processes and phenomena that pose a significant threat to human societies, infrastructure, and the environment. This concept investigates the causes, mechanisms, frequency, and potential impacts of events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, and subsidence, emphasizing risk assessment, prediction, and mitigation strategies to reduce vulnerability and enhance societal resilience.
