This is a one-day Online Masterclass on Earth Observation and Natural Hazards
The Masterclass
‣ Has a practical session on the complementary use of EO satellite data and Geographic Information System (GIS) for disaster risk assessment
‣ Introduces the Analytic Hierarchal Process (AHP) for risk assessment
‣ Focusses on cyclone and landslide hazard risks, however the methods introduced are generally applicable
Part of the Humanitarian Institute Masterclass Series in International Development brought to you by the UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction.
