Human geoscience is a new genre of geoscience concerned with the natural phenomena that occur on the surface of the Earth and their relations with human activities. It therefore has connections with many fields of geoscience, namely, physical geography, geomorphology, geology, soil science, sedimentology, seismology, volcanology, meteorology, climatology, oceanography, and hydrology. It also has strong links to the humanities, social sciences, agricultural sciences, and engineering related to disaster prevention or mitigation. All these disciplines are important fields for understanding disasters and global environmental problems and for evaluating the associated risks comprehensively, then proposing mitigation strategies. The volume is designed for those who may not necessarily have a geoscience background but have broad scientific interest in understanding the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of geo-disasters and global environmental problems and wish to make the world more sustainable on that basis. The book consists of six parts: I. Introduction, II. Earth Surface Realms, III. Natural Resources and Society, IV. Natural Hazards and Society, V. Global Environmental Problems, and VI. Global Sustainability Programmes and Human Geoscience, which discusses the contribution of this field of science to a new comprehensive framework for global sustainability.Advances in Geological Science,2524-3829Physical geographyNatural disastersSustainable developmentClimate changeHuman geographyUrban geographyEarth System Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35000Natural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Climate Change/Climate Change Impactshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000Human Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010Physical geography.Natural disasters.Sustainable development.Climate change.Human geography.Urban geography.Earth System Sciences.Natural Hazards.Sustainable Development.Climate Change/Climate Change Impacts.Human Geography.Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).550Himiyama Yukioedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSatake Kenjiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOki Taikanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910366652603321Human Geoscience2057017UNINA
