This course is self-paced you can enroll immediately and complete the course materials at any time before August 31, 2021.
Climate change is arguably the greatest challenge of our time. Human activity has already warmed the planet by 1° Celsius relative to pre-industrial times, and we are feeling the effects through record heat waves, droughts,…
The course gives an introduction to volcano monitoring techniques, magma movements and volcano unrest. It also presents some aspects of why volcanoes are dangerous and volcanic hazards. Volcano monitoring relies on diverse approaches to infer the state of a volcano so many different instruments and techniques are used to monitor volcanoes. Predictin…
The course introduces the basic theories and experimental work focused on earthquake generation and seismic wave propagation. It centers on methods and technologies used to image the earthquake as well as real-time simulations and mapping.
The course begins with a review of the theoretical models and observations related to earthquakes; introducing…

MSc Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, specialization in Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction
Description
ITC offers a two-year, full-time academic programme, in an international environment of students and faculty staff from all over the world. Emphasis is on dealing with natural hazards and disaster r…
Access hereThe eLearning Course seeks to build capacities to spearhead innovation and utilize information and communications technologies (ICTs) and key frontier technologies to drive disaster risk reduction (DRR) and resilience. Special emphasis is given to public service innovations that serve the needs of countries in special situations, including me…
This Training Module focuses on culturally competent research and offers guidance on how hazards and disaster researchers can build cultural competence.
This Training Module focuses on the reciprocal relationship between researchers and disaster affected communities, with an emphasis on providing mutual benefits for both the people involved with and affected by hazards, as well as those participating in disaster research.
DescriptionThe importance of science in understanding disaster risks and the need for science-based strategies at local, national and international levels in the private, public, and third sectors are now widely recognised. The Risk and Disaster Science MSc aims to meet the growing need for experts trained in disaster science in sectors ranging from fin…
This short course provides an overview of the approach and toolset developed by the Open Data for Resilience Initiative. Major topics covered include the rationale and practices of the open data movement, tools for sharing geospatial data, community mapping and citizen science for disaster and climate risk management, and new approaches for communi…
In this course, the second in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Specialization, students will go in-depth with common data types (such as raster and vector data), structures, quality and storage during four week-long modules:
Week 1: Learn about data models and formats, including a full understanding of vector data and raster concepts. Stude…
Industry areas that rely on spatial data analysis, remote sensing, cartography, and data visualization are growing at accelerated rates.
With this online certificate program, students will study at the graduate level to gain the Python programming language and GIS skills they need to advance their career.
Participants will learn to apply data anal…
This course aims to introduce participants to existing and emerging technologies suitable for disaster risk reduction while promoting the overall aim of sustainable development. The course focuses on three main natural hazards- floods, landslides and earthquakes. It also discusses the challenges and limits of adapting and adopting technologies depe…
No region on Earth is immune from natural disasters. As scientific understanding into the causes and nature of such phenomena allows better mitigation of the effects of disasters. Yet as the world's population continues to grow, an increasingly large number of people are at risk.
This science course examines different types of natural disasters and our…
In 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a major tsunami that devastated northeast Japan, killing more than 15,000 people and crippling a nuclear power plant.
Natural disasters like this one can be seen throughout our Earths history. They will continue to prey on all regions, bringing devastation when they strike. This course asks why people…
