"Remote sensing of natural hazards (ORISAT)" from Université Grenoble Alpes - Open badge of achievement

Volcanoes, glaciers, landslides, faults: these are all natural objects that can pose a major risk to populations and infrastructures. Over 4 billion people have been affected by natural disasters in the last two decades, and the IPCC report points to a very likely increase in natural hazards as a result of climate change. But can we detect areas at risk? Can we understand the physics of hazards? Can we monitor the Earth's activity? Anticipate disasters? In this online course on remote sensing of natural hazards, we'll take a look at the big picture. We'll see how satellites, located almost 800 km above the Earth's surface, help us answer some of these questions.
