  1. Risk &Resilience • Central aspects of research in disaster risk reduction: • Understanding the coupling of human and natural systems and the role of the coupling to prevent a hazard from becoming a disaster • Improve the understanding of the temporal evolution of risk and resilience.

  2. Risk &Resilience Social construction of hazard, risk, insecurity/uncertainty, safety, resilience Geomorphic hazards, vulnerability and risk Geomorphology & Risk Cultural Geography M. Keiler R.

  3. Risk &Resilience • 1styear: Convergence of the different perspectives on risk and resilience as well as on coupled human-landscape systems • 2ndyear: Jointly developed conceptual modelon risk and resilience as well as on coupled human-landscape systems • 3rdyear: Empirical studies & numerical prototype of the coupled model for the human-landscape interaction system • 4thyear: Fully coupled human-landscape model will be used to test and further explore the hypotheses that the conceptual model represents

  4. Risk &Resilience • Contribution to teaching and training activities • Bachelor theses on specifics topics within research groups • Seminar on ‘Risk and Resilience – multiple perspectives’ • Multiple-day field course • Master theses on specifics topics within research groups related to the cluster and co-supervised Master theses from different research groups
