Geohazards and Disasters

Grab attention with a clear, eye-opening exploration of nature’s most formidable forces. Geohazards and Disasters by Salvatore Martino delivers a rigorous, accessible guide to understanding earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, coastal flooding and other geohazards that shape our cities, coastlines and mountain regions.

Dive into evidence-based analysis that links geological processes with human vulnerability. This book blends scientific explanation with practical applications—hazard mapping, risk assessment, early warning strategies and resilience planning—making it essential for geoscientists, urban planners, emergency managers, policymakers and students. Regional case studies span seismic belts, coastal zones, alpine terrains and deltaic plains to highlight how local geology, climate change and land use interact to amplify disaster risk.

Imagine making smarter decisions for infrastructure, land-use policy and disaster preparedness: clear diagrams, real-world scenarios and policy-focused recommendations translate complex science into actionable insight. Readers will gain tools for mitigation, monitoring and community resilience—perfect for professionals working in earthquake-prone Mediterranean regions, the Pacific Ring of Fire, Himalayan catchments or vulnerable coastal cities worldwide.

Practical, authoritative and timely, Geohazards and Disasters is both a textbook and a field-ready reference that advances understanding and inspires effective action. Strengthen your knowledge of geohazards, improve disaster risk reduction strategies, and equip your team with the expertise to protect lives and assets.
