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 Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Department of Risk and Disaster Reduction.
