This course provides an overview of the wide range of advanced topics which deal with the environment that is affected by human activity, but which also affect humans, such as:

• Geohazards, namely volcanic activity, earthquakes, landslide, floods, drought, cyclones and coastal hazards including tsunamis.
• Nature of the regolith and how this may affect health and agriculture.
• Emphasis will also be placed on environmental geochemistry, mine rehablitation and the nature of the regolith.
