• Case study of a contrasting coastal landscape beyond the UK to illustrate and analyse how it presents risks and opportunities for human occupation and development and evaluate human responses of resilience, mitigation and adaptation - Odisha
Hazards:
• Impacts and human responses as evidenced by a recent volcanic event – **Mt Etna **
• Impacts and human responses as evidenced by a recent seismic event – Japan (2011)
• Impacts and human responses as evidenced by two recent tropical storms in contrasting areas of the world (Sandy and Winston)
• Impact and human responses as evidenced by a recent wild fire event.(Alberta wildfires)
• Case study of a multi-hazardous environment beyond the UK to illustrate and analyse the nature of the hazards and the social, economic and environmental risks presented, and how human qualities and responses such as resilience, adaptation, mitigation and management contribute to its continuing human occupation. (Haiti)
• Case study at a local scale of a specified place in a hazardous setting to illustrate the physical nature of the hazard and analyse how the economic, social and political character of its community reflects the presence and impacts of the hazard and the community’s response to the risk - Montserrat
