Explore the increasing exposure of human societies to geologic hazards, particularly earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, in this 56-minute conference talk from AGU. Examine how population growth and development in high-risk areas have amplified vulnerability to natural disasters. Delve into the challenges of sustainable resource management and the risks associated with resource depletion. Discover new approaches and perspectives on earthquake and volcanic hazards, Earth's fluid systems, and energy within the planet. Gain insights into the complex interplay between human activity and geological processes, and learn about innovative strategies for mitigating risks and promoting sustainable development in hazard-prone regions.
