About this Item

Hardcover. Natural hazards and environmental challenges shape our planet profoundly and often unpredictably. From climate variability and seismic activity to tsunami risks and post-disaster recovery, these phenomena test the resilience of communities and demand innovative, collaborative solutions. Exploring the Unseen Hazards of Our World brings together a diverse collection of peer-reviewed research investigating these critical issues. Through case studies and advanced methodologies, this book offers a comprehensive look at how science, technology, and local knowledge can work together to mitigate risks and substitute sustainable development. Key highlights include: - Climate-smart agricultural practices in Africa that empower vulnerable populations. - Machine learning applications for seismic hazard analysis and micro-zonation techniques for site-specific risk assessment. - Socio-economic vulnerabilities in tsunami-affected regions and reflections on survivor agency in disaster recovery. - Cutting-edge approaches to earthquake prediction and tsunami evacuation mapping. This book is not only an academic resource but also a call to action. It challenges readers to reimagine how we understand, prepare for, and respond to the hazards that define our world. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or community leader, this volume provides essential insights for building a safer and more equitable future.
