Class Objectives
/Class Outline This subject provides a series of lectures taught by professors in Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering Program. Students will learn mechanisms, impacts and countermeasures for typical natural disasters such as floods, landslides, earth quakes, extreme climates and fires from wide range of perspectives. The perspectives of lectures include (1) natural resources and health, (2) urban and transportation planning, (3) process and prediction, (4) mitigation and adaptation to climate change. From these lectures, students can get deeper and broader insights on the relationship between natural disasters and our society.
